Dignidad Agropecuaria Nacional: The Rebirth of the Agrarian Movement in Colombia

Abstract: 

Few events in recent Colombian history have shaken the political landscape as much as the agrarian protests of February and August 2013. The mobilizations marked the birth of a new social movement, Dignidad Agropecuaria Nacional (National Agricultural Dignity), which is currently in the process of forming a national, legally recognized organization with the capacity to advance the interests of Colombian farmers and challenge the neoliberal agricultural model championed by President Juan Manuel Santos Calderón.
