Land Reform and Rural Development

Land Reform and rural development remain slow and even limited. The fact that the Ministry of Agriculture is delinked from land reform suggests that government will continue to have pressure from commercial agriculture and there approach to small scale and subsistence agriculture will continue along the same trajectory as previously. This is already evident from recent Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) M E data: 3,900 households benefitting per year in period 2001/2- 2005/6 2,000...

Extractives Assembly, World Social Forum Political Declaration 31 March 2013

We, organisations assembled here,bear witness to a global extractivist boom that is leading to great misery for many hundreds of millions of the Earth’s people and destroying the very basis for life and its reproduction in significant parts of the Global South, and also the Global North.It is corporations, financiers and the rich that benefit, and not the majority of peasant and working class peoples. This extractivist, growth fixated and profit oriented maldevelopment model is expanding capital’s reach and destroying our common goods of water, land, air, forests and oceans. In this phase of global capitalism, power relations are shifting, with emerging economies and corporations of the Global South joining the traditional actors of the Global North in plundering and colonising the natural resources of South and North. Extractivism is not just the activity of resource extraction but a development model, which organises the political, socio-economic, gender and cultural dynamics within society and the state and its institutions.
