Our Stories

At the 2nd Global Symposium on Farmers’ Rights, young farmer Homidi Edsla from Kabacan, North Cotabato joined a global panel alongside advocates from Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America. Homidi spoke of heirloom rice, flood-resilient seeds, farmer-to-farmer exchanges, and the urgent need to bring more young people into farming. His message was clear: youth are not just the future of agriculture—they are its present actors.

“Youth is not only the hope of tomorrow — we are the strength of today.” At the Regional Workshop on Sustainable Food Systems and Farmers’ Rights (Sept 13–15, 2025), youth farmers showed that they are not just future leaders but key actors today — raising concrete proposals and shaping the path toward just and sustainable food systems.

SEARICE calls for a strong, binding treaty that reduces plastic at the source, holds polluters accountable, and protects farmers’ rights to produce food free from toxic pollutants. When farmers thrive, the world is fed. The time for action is now!

The Facilitators’ Guide on Agroecology offers trainers and learning facilitators a set of participatory tools and learning exercises designed for adult learners. Together, these resources aim to strengthen the capacities of trainers and facilitators to effectively impart agroecological knowledge and skills in ways that are engaging, experiential, and rooted in farmers’ lived realities.

SEARICE joins the launch of the third report on the state of the world’s plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.
