The petition for a Referendum on National Farming in Colombia is intended to collect signatures backing a referendum to amend articles 64, 65, 66 and 100 of the Constitution, thus requiring Colombia to adopt special protection measures for national agri-food production, to guarantee credit, and to protect the work and income of the country’s arable and stock farmers. The application by the Committee Petitioning for a Referendum on National Farming was approved by the Registry on 27 May, allowing it to collect signatures over a period of 6 months.
