@PeoplesLandless @KPL_Women @PeasantsLeague @DefendingUNDROP @ESAFFUG @UnacMocambique @MVIWATA @ChengetoMuzira shared strategies through which small-scale farmers are building climate resilience and advancing food sovereignty such as farmer-to-farmer learning and exchange, rooted in Indigenous knowledge, with a strong focus on farmer-managed seed systems.

#COP31

[La Via Campesina SEAf @LVCSEAf]

Climate crises demand climate justice, not more debt. Droughts, heatwaves, floods and irregular rainfall threaten food production, water access and rural livelihoods across the world.
The impacts cannot be addressed by shifting their costs onto those who produce our food.

#LaViaCampesina📢The latest Newswrap is here! The struggles of our members across the world never stop, and neither do the stories of resistance, solidarity and collective action! October brought our collective resistance to the forefront. https://t.co/1fhox4b5Zq

[La Via Campesina (EN) @via_campesina]

We reaffirm the importance of building collective resistance and people-led solutions to the climate crisis. We demand debt relief, public water, agrarian reform, agroecology, fair prices and labour protections. Climate reparations, not more debt! https://t.co/pIkpWqksC2

Only 7 days to go until farmers, seed custodians, researchers and advocates come together to shape conversations on the future of our local seeds.

But how secure are farmers' rights to the seeds they have nurtured for generations?

As a partner in the 1st Eastern Africa Indigenous Seed Conference 2026, @ESAFFUG will amplify farmers' voices & push for policies that recognise them not just as seed users, but as the people who conserve, develop & sustain quality seeds.

Dr. Doreen Kobusingye, Facilitator at National Land Coalition Uganda, reminds us that land tenure security must come before land-use decisions, reinforcing the idea that agroecolgy and land rights are interconnected.

[ESAFF Uganda @ESAFFUG]

Women feed families and sustain food production, but how much control do they have over the land that makes this possible? Many still do not know their land rights or how to protect them.

Through the #LandRightsSupportCentre, we continue to bridge this knowledge gap. During #LandAwarenessWeek2026 in Nyakatonzi Sub-county, Kasese district, we engaged communities on women's rights to family land, individual land ownership and will writing.

Our Policy and Research Officer, @akutui, explains:

[ESAFF Uganda @ESAFFUG]

At @ESAFFUG, we continue to call for a shift away from hazardous agrochemicals in agriculture, which pose serious risks to human health, soil fertility and ecosystems.

During the #NAF2026, this call was reinforced as small-scale farmers were urged to embrace agroecological farming practices and inputs that restore soil health, improve food quality and promote sustainable food production.

🌱 The KPL–@spipetani Residency Exchange kicked off at Kithoni Food Coop under the Global Innovation Assembly for Agroecology!

Over 15 days, the teams will visit 20 Food Coops to explore digitalisation, innovations and strengthening food sovereignty. @via_campesina @KPLFoodCoop

[ESAFF Uganda @ESAFFUG]

Most national and regional seed policies sideline farmers' seeds in favour of commercial seed interests. Yet, Article 19 of #UNDROP recognises farmers’ rights to save, exchange and sell farm-saved seeds.

Mr. Hakim Baliraine, a small-scale farmer from Mayuge and National Chairperson of @ESAFFUG, questions whether existing policies truly protect small-scale farmers and the seeds they sustain. The upcoming 1st Eastern Africa Indigenous Seed Conference offers an opportunity to shape policy pathways that uphold farmers’ seed rights.

Farmer-managed seed systems (FMSS) are central to our food systems. Here is why: they keep indigenous seed varieties alive, preserve farmers’ knowledge, sustain crop diversity and strengthen communities’ capacity to withstand climate shocks.

As we gear up for the 1st Eastern Africa Indigenous Seed Conference, we must push for policies that recognise and support FMSS and the farmers who sustain them. Mr. Hakim Baliraine, small-scale farmer from Mayuge district and National Chairperson @ESAFFUG, explains what these systems are, and why they matter.
