What is the Consenso Agroindustrial?
It is an initiative launched by the
Fundacion Directorio Legislativo which strives to build consensuses on the
criterias and guidelines shared by the various stakeholders involved in the
agro-industrial production chain.
The Fundacion Directorio Legislativo works
to strengthen the institutional role of Congress and the legislatures in order
to be truly representative and exert in an effective way to social demands.
The Fundacion Cambio Democratico supports
this initiative since its inception, bringing their experience in the promotion
and advocacy processes and constructive transformation of conflicts.
At first
In early 2009, the Fundacion DirectorioLegislativo understood the importance of articulating the various
agro-industrial policy visions emerging from civil society.
So the NGO created the “espacio Consenso
Agroindustrial”, a gathering, in order to think about the role of agribusiness
in the national economy and the policies needed to promote the primary
production sector in Argentina.
What are the objectives of the Consenso
Agroindustrial?
- Create a space for independent and representative dialogue.
- Build consensus among the stakeholders in the agribusiness sector
- Encourage parliamentary debate to strengthen the national Congress and provincial legislatures.
- Generate new mechanisms for respectful dialogue between the productive sectors and policy makers.
- Promote the various proposals emergent from the dialogue space so that they may be accounted for in the enactment of legislation for the sector.
What are the issues we are working on?
Institutional Quality, fiscal credit
framework, marketing, Regional Economies, Social investment, public works and
infrastructure, investment in Technology, Agricultural Production, Beef and
milk production and Agricultural emergency.
What is our work methodology?
The Consenso Agroindustrial is built on
agreements because we believe it is the way to achieve common goals while
respecting the different perspectives. We Base ourselves on dialogue,
participation and consensus building for the common good.
This is the spirit of our meetings,
organized to discuss proposals between the various political and agribusiness
actors.
Achievements
- Over 500 organizations from different provinces adhere to the process.
- We made a dialogue space comprising all political forces in both chambers and the executive branch.
- We have signatures of support from lawmakers and authorities from distinct political parties.
- We bring together in one space different institutions such as: the chamber of commerce, professional advisors and academicians, cooperatives, entities from the production, government entities, metalworking industry, civil society organizations, the grain sector, commercial, meat, dairy and unions
- We are capable of organizing social gatherings to influence legislative debate.
- We managed to generate more than 10 documents on the interests of the sector and look at various legislative projects.
- We conducted 4 meetings with legislators and provincial sectors related to the agro-industry to work on legislation in this specific sector.
Consensus is possible, and dialogue is essential for its upbringing
