Colombian campesino (farmer) activist Rene Chaux spoke through a translator to over 40 BCC students and faculty Oct. 14 about the effects of Plan Colombia on his people.Plan Colombia is an initiative co-authored by the U.S. and Colombian governments in 2000 to eradicate Colombian coca crops.
Chaux, whose lecture was sponsored by the BCC Department of World Languages, represents COSURCA, a cooperative of Colombian campesinos, indigenous people and Afro-Colombians working to replace their illegal coca crops with legal crops, coffee in particular. Chaux said Colombian farmers receive two to three times as much money for coca as for coffee, so they grow it as an economic necessity as well as for cultural and medicinal purposes. Ripping out their coca plants means that many lose their only source of income, so COSURCA gives support to its members during the transition to growing other crops.
According to Chaux, production of cocaine in Colombia has actually increased since Plan Colombia was instated. Also, as a result of mishandled crop fumigations under that program, many campesinos have lost not only their coca crops but also their legal food crops.
Chaux encouraged audience members to show solidarity for campesinos in his country and to become informed about the way US taxpayers’ money is used in Colombia. – article by Autumn Knowlton, World Languages instructor

CSA is a relationship between a farmer who grows organic fruits and vegetables, and members of the public who want to support that farmer in his or her agricultural efforts and also enjoy the benefits of eating the freshest, most wholesome farm produce available. Eric’s Jubilee Farms website ( http://www.jubileefarm.org/) describes the program as “an opportunity to witness, appreciate, and be involved in the miracle of nurturing small handfuls of seeds into bountiful nourishment for our bodies and spirits.“ |
