Statement of the Coalition of Agricultural Workers International
"Fight for Jobs" "Fight for Wages"
"Fight for Land"
To Claim Our Rights and Dignity
JUNK WTO!
We, the Coalition of Agricultural Workers International reaffirm our resistance against globalisation, WTO and TNCs.
"WTO OUT OF AGRICULTURE AND FOOD" JUNK WTO!
A POSITION PAPER OF THE COALITION OF AGRICULTURAL
WORKERS INTERNATIONAL
Food is essential to life and a basic human right. It should not be treated like any other commodity. Almost 90% of agricultural products are consumed domestically and only 10% are traded internationally, yet the World Trade Organization (WTO) and neo-liberal policies interfere and enforce rules on the 90% consumed domestically.
