Latin America Week 2009 aims to introduce the concept of Food Sovereignty from a Latin American and Irish perspective to the wider public and to create a space to link struggles against the globalised food market. We want to explore some of the causes behind the food crisis, their impact on peoples’ lives in Latin America and Ireland and possible actions on this subject.

Our speakers:

ALBERTA CARIÑO TRUJILLO
Mixtec woman from Oaxaca who works in CACTUS (Centre of Community Support Working Together), a Mixtec peasant organisation which is part of MAIZ (Agrarian Zapatista Indigenous Movement) and of the broader coalition “No Maize, No Country.” This organisation has extensive work in the area of food sovereignty, promoting sowing for local consumption and local barter, community water management, soil conservation, women’s productive collectives, etc. They run an Agrarian School, Ricardo Flores Magón, which has as its mission to recover traditional and autonomous alimentary systems. CACTUS also advocates gender equality issues.

JUAN CAMBINDO CUENU
Director of the Sugar Cane Workers Union in Colombia. He has been a worker of the sugarcane industry for 30 years. For the last 12 years he has worked in the Manuelita Sugar Plantation, one of the biggest in the district of Valle del Cauca. Nowadays he is member of Sintrainal, which organises workers of the food industry in Colombia. Juan Cambindo has been an outstanding leader of the Sugar cane sector and has participated of the different fights in defence of the rights of the sugar cane cutters. During the last strike from 15th September to 12th November 2008, he was spokesman of the workers and member of the negotiation team between the workers and the government.
