Delegation to Venezuela

Delegation to Venezuela: Food Sovereignty, Human Rights, and Community Power

We will examine issues of land reform, urban agriculture, rural development, fishing rights, and food sovereignty within a dynamic political context. Venezuela is an outstanding example of a country that strives to ensure its citizens’ right to food while bolstering its domestic agriculture sector, with an emphasis on sustainable agriculture. We will also explore other areas of social transformation, including education, healthcare, and direct citizen participation in the political process. Plus trips to beaches, parks, and other sites of interest. 

When: July 16 to 26, 2012

Tentative Itinerary: Start and end in Caracas; visits to the states of Portuguesa, Barinas, Yaracuy, and the Amazon.
