México en la Ruta por Eliminar el Glifosato y promover una Agroecología Biocultural

En México desde el primero de enero de este año se publicó en el Diario Oficial de la Federación  un Decreto presidencial establece un período de transición para sustituir gradualmente el glifosato y el maíz transgénico hasta la eliminación de su uso en 2024 en el país. A la par que se está impulsando una agroecología biocultural que se espera haga sinergia con otros programas gubernamentales, entre ellos el de alcanzar la autosuficiencia alimentaria. 

¿Qué significa esta decisión en la disputa entre promoventes de la agricultura industrial y los impulsores de un proyecto agroecológico? ¿Es posible alcanzar este objetivo? ¿Qué implicaciones locales y nacionales  tiene esta decisión? 

Esta presentación tendrá la oportunidad de conocer los antecedentes y el contexto en que se da este cambio de política, y los retos que significan para las organizaciones sociales y no gubernamentales, así como pare el mismo gobierno, que buscan una transformación del sistema alimentario.

Mexico on the Road to Eliminate Glyphosate and promote a Biocultural Agroecology

In Mexico, since January 1 of this year, a presidential decree was published in the Official Journal of the Federation establishing a transition to gradually replace glyphosate and transgenic corn until their use is eliminated from the country in 2024. At the same time, biocultural agroecology is being promoted and is expected to create synergy with other government programs, including achieving food self-sufficiency.

What does this decision mean in the dispute between promoters of industrial agriculture and proponents of an agroecological project? Is it possible to achieve this goal? What local and national implications does this decision have?

This presentation will be an opportunity to learn about the background and context in which this policy change is occuring, and the challenges it poses for social and non-governmental organizations, as well as the government itself, seeking a transformation of the food system.
