Inde : La plus grande révolte paysanne de l’histoire
Summary
Ce podcast détaille la victoire historique du mouvement paysan indien (Kisan Andolan) de 2020-2021, qui a forcé le gouvernement de Narendra Modi à abroger des réformes agricoles favorables aux multinationales. Il met en lumière la stratégie de résistance des agriculteurs, leur autonomie logistique et leur capacité à transcender les clivages religieux et sociaux. L'émission s'achève avec Karine Jacquemart, qui transpose ces leçons à la France en dénonçant le système agro-industriel et en appelant à une souveraineté alimentaire durable.
