PRINCIPLES
agriculture with forestry activities is essential to human existence.
The campaign provides all the basic needs of water, air, biodiversity, food, energy, fibers (cotton, wool, linen, etc.) and all building materials.
The land is sacred, we did not. It is the natural home of all living things.
on earth is based identity of human communities if not alienated, fragmented and not based on mere utilitarian considerations.
The ground we walk on is mixed with the dust of our ancestors, our bodies, dying,
enrich the earth by showing that it does not belong to us but we belong to the earth.
The campaign is a living community with countless bodies and as a body must be nurtured, cared for, without rest. ...
The campaign is essential to regenerate human society, so we need to enrich the countryside,
rediscovering the sacredness.
All civilizations are based on agriculture, including industrial, but none has been so destructive to nature as ours, which is therefore the most fragile of all.
Industrial Technologies applied to the land - of synthetic chemicals such as herbicides, fertilizers
chemicals, pesticides, machinery for fossil energy, genetically manipulated, monocultures of goods for the international market, which alter the landscape to make it functional machines - no agriculture, but industrial and should not enjoy privileges for "public interest".
The theft of even one apple is a crime punishable under criminal law, but the systematic looting of the genetic inheritance and pollution of food chains with immense consequences on populations, is not considered illegal by governments, but violates the fundamental rights of all peoples . ....
Land non è e non sarà mai una merce. È un bene comune. Il suo destino naturale è l’uso e il
godimento comune.

This work precedes and exceeds that of states and international organizations.
peasants and indigenous peoples do not produce goods, are guardians of the land and our common survival. ....
peasant and indigenous cultures are oral, because they rely on intelligence and insight direct analog and symbolic, a common language with nature: they write in the landscape, plants, animals, tools and assets that produce, not on paper. ....
peasant and tribal communities apply the ethics of subsistence, that meet their essential needs
directly from nature, respecting the order, in the local economies of circuit, based on farming practices and land use are inherited from ancestral knowledge and skills that will be continued effort to rebuild and maintain the natural balance, social and cultural rights. The food chain is by its intrinsic quality local, aimed at subsistence.
