Article 1
1. suggested the addition of:
(a)
Il faut reconnaître la relation spéciale entre les paysans et la terre, l’eau
(les aquifères), la nature et le territoire. Cette relation n’est pas seulement économique
mais aussi culturelle et sociale ; l’agriculture est un mode de vie ; la paysannerie qui
est pratiquée l’est, en général, sur la base de la cellule familiale et les paysans sont
traditionnellement en osmose avec leur environnement local.
(b)
Il faut reconnaître le fait que les paysans ont le droit à exister en fonction
de leurs propres modes de vie et que le but premier des paysans n’est pas de devenir
riche et d’accumuler le capital mais bien de tirer un revenu décent de leur travail
pour préserver leur mode de vie.
