Land for Food, Food for Life
This campaign is the People’s Verdict on “Retrieving People’s Dignity through Land and Livelihood” and it aims to have people take up non-violent struggle and civil disobedience in their communities at the local, national and international levels throughout the world in the coming few years.
Advancing a People’s Verdict is a way of pressing for a common social change agenda for removing poverty and redistributing justice in the form of land rights to the poorer sections. People’s verdicts have been declared in various parts of India for the past ten years at the local and state levels. It is gradually being expanded to national and international levels.
The progression of building a People’s Verdict from the grassroots to the global level will culminate in large actions in late 2007. One of the large programs being planned in India is to have 25,000 people march 350 kilometers to Delhi from Gwalior and profile the power of more than 100,000 people demanding their land rights. Other programs that are in the planning stages in different countries are all calling for a poverty-free society.

About Janadesh ( Wiki )
Janadesh is a Hindi word, signifying “The Verdict of the People”. It is also the name of a national campaign on land rights in India launched by the movement Ekta Parishad. The campaign was launched in 2005 and will culminate in October 2007, in the form of a 350 Km foot march involving 25,000 people, the majority of whom will be landless Adivasi and Dalit.

According to Ekta Parishad the lack of secure land rights is a major contributor to rural poverty in India, and the government of India needs to undertake major land reforms to address this issue. The aim of the Janadesh campaign is to put pressure on the Indian government to undertake specific land reforms aimed at securing land rights for the poorest groups in India.
