Se equivocan quienes en estas redes señalan que el debate sobre la adopción de parejas del mismo sexo ya lo resolvió de manera definitiva la Corte Constitucional. En el 2017 se impulsó un referendo para prohibirla por iniciativa popular,en un claro propósito de afectar la diversidad sexual y los derechos de la comunidad LGTBI. Desde el gobierno de entonces nos opusimos a la iniciativa que finalmente fue derrotada en su penúltimo debate. No demos por sentados los derechos alcanzados por estas y otras minorías en el país. Siempre habrá quienes buscan afectarlos.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 || 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝟐𝟐 - 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐢𝐦 𝐋𝐢 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 In this episode of The Battle for African Agriculture, Dr. Million Belay speaks with Lim Li Ching, co chair of IPES-Food @IPESfood and senior researcher at Third World Network (TWN) @3rdworldnetwork, with expertise on biodiversity, biosafety and sustainable agriculture. Lim Li Ching has spent more than two decades working on biodiversity, biosafety, seeds, and corporate power in agriculture. Reflecting on her early engagement with the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety and global negotiations on GMOs, she explains how debates over agricultural innovation have always been deeply political, shaped by questions of who controls knowledge, who benefits from technological change, and whose interests are prioritized in global food systems. Drawing from the new IPES-Food report Head in the Cloud, Lim Li Ching examines the rapid convergence of big tech companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google with agribusiness giants like Bayer and John Deere. She argues that digital agriculture is not simply a neutral technological evolution but part of a broader shift in which data becomes a new frontier of power and accumulation. Through cloud platforms, artificial intelligence, and data driven decision tools, corporations are increasingly able to collect and control vast amounts of farm level information, shaping agricultural decisions while potentially locking farmers into technological systems that deepen dependency and reinforce industrial farming models. Lim Li Ching warns that the ecological and political consequences of this shift are far reaching. The digital infrastructure behind agriculture requires enormous energy, water, minerals, and data extraction, often sourced from the Global South, while intellectual property regimes linked to gene editing and digital tools may further erode farmers’ autonomy and seed sovereignty. She argues that Africa must approach digital agriculture critically and instead prioritize farmer led innovation, agroecology, and digital sovereignty where communities and governments retain control over technology, knowledge, and food systems. Her message is clear: real innovation must strengthen farmers’ knowledge, rights, and ecological practices rather than concentrate power in the hands of corporations.

8/ The goal? Material Justice. It’s about moving from just "formalizing property" to real land redistribution. Harmonizing old laws (like Decree 902) with new rights is the only way to fulfill the Peace Agreement’s promise
