Problems of small fisher folk and farmers

This program addresses the challenges encountered by small fisher folk and farmers across the Philippines. The discussion revolves around trade liberalization and the limited access to technical assistance and services, identified as obstacles to achieving and securing decent wages and livelihoods for agricultural workers. PKSK is actively engaged in organizing with the sector and reinforcing rural organizations to assist farmers and fisher folk in overcoming these barriers. The hosts and guests emphasize the significance of organizational development and the need for robust, sustained organizing to ensure that rural workers can access various forms of support from both the government and civil society.
