    Why Land
    Many of the solutions to the world’s problems lie right before us, in how land is governed and managed. Sustainable and equitable land use elevates ecosystems and communities. It builds democracy, justice, sustainability and resilience.

SABIA

Centro de Desenvolvimento Agroecológico Sabiá

Member since: 2018

Working towards these commitments

Ensure equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

Recognize and protect the diverse tenure and production systems upon which people’s livelihoods depend, including the communal and customary tenure systems of smallholders, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, fisher folks, and holders of overlapping, shifting and periodic rights to land and other natural resources, even when these are not recognized by law, and whilst also acknowledging that the well-being of resource-users may be affected by changes beyond the boundaries of the land to which they have tenure rights.
3

Diverse Tenure Systems

Enable the role of local land users in territorial and ecosystem management, recognizing that sustainable development and the stewardship of ecosystems are best achieved through participatory decision-making and management at the territorial-level, empowering local land users and their communities with the authority, means and incentives to carry out this responsibility.

Locally-managed ecosystems

Mission

The Sabiá Center's mission expresses the challenge of interacting with the various sectors of civil society. It develops innovative actions in working with children, young people, women and men in family agriculture. With the vision of a society living in harmony with nature and that is aware, autonomous and participatory in the construction of a model of sustainable rural development.

Objectives

The strengthening of agroecology is a major objective of the Sabiá Center, together with the development of actions that enable the communities to coexist with the environment and to cope with climate change. Furthermore, other major objectives of the Center are to empower women, youth, and indigenous and LGBT communities, and to fight against inequalities, promoting open channels of communications and constructing knowledge sharing, always promoting institutional visibility and social mobilization. 






Constituencies

The Sabía Center for Agroecological Development is a non-governmental organization based in Recife, Pernambuco. It was founded in 1993, and since then it aimed to promote family farming within the principles of agroecology.
