Farmers and IPs Fights for Land Rights

This publication, Farmers and Indigenous Peoples Defend their Right to Land: Stories from the Field, compiles narratives of struggles and victories of farmers and indigenous peoples from the provinces of Negros Occidental, Leyte, Bukidon, and Misamis Oriental, in securing their rights to land. These stories touch upon subject matters such as agrarian reform, land conflicts, responsible resource use, ancestral rights to land, and policy reform, and give human faces to them. Cases presented in this book serve to illustrate that while past achievements have been remarkable, there is much left to be done in pursuit of rural development.
