This new episode of the FRIED podcast brings the question of food fights and struggles on the terrain of food sovereignty in Haiti, with an interview with Origène Louis, National executive coordinator of the Haitian Small Farmers Cooperative Association. The Haitian Small Farmers Cooperative Association seeks to address the situation of agriculture in Haiti and the peasant way of life, by increasing agroecological farming and enhancing food sovereignty. In this podcast, Marisa Wilson (FRIED) and her colleague Patricia Northover (University of the West Indies) find out about the views of the association on the UN Food System, Summit COP 26 and the fights led by peasants through such peasant organizations to claim their rights. We also hear about the October 16th, 2021 Haitian Peasant declaration that stems from the Haitian Small Farmers Cooperative Association.. With thanks to Dr Marie-José Nzengou-Tayo, who acted as translator for this conversation.
