Шаблон:Infobox organization/Wikidata The Federation of Free Farmers (FFF) is an agricultural association in the Philippines.

History

The organization was founded on October 25, 1953, in Porac, Pampanga by Catholics with Christian democratic leanings, following the decline of communism in the Philippines.Шаблон:Sfn[1] Its early recruitment efforts did not meet with substantial success.[1]

One of its founding members, Jeremias Montemayor, a lawyer,Шаблон:Sfn developed an early plan for an agricultural cooperative organization called "Plows and Peace" which later developed into a plan for the organization.Шаблон:Sfn Fernando Esguerra was another influential figure in FFF's early history.Шаблон:Sfn

According to Roth, FFF was instrumental in passing a 1971 statute revising the government's approach to land reform.[2] In October 1971, 500 farmers affiliated with FFF occupied land allocated Central Mindanao University.[3]

Silliman argues that, as of 1980, FFF—unusually among agrarian organizations under the Marcos regime—was affiliated with the state.[4]

FFF was a member organization of the International Federation of Agricultural Producers (IFAP) before IFAP's dissolution in 2010.[5]

Positions

Crater argues that the basic aim of FFF in its early years was to ensure that every peasant farmer was "the owner of a family-size farm".Шаблон:Sfn Overholt suggests that FFF, as of the 1970s, was against "absentee landlords".Шаблон:Sfn

Borras argues that FFF underwent a number of ideological transformations in the 1960s and 1970s. In his view, FFF was founded with "conservative" leanings, became briefly "radicalized" in the 1960s, and then, following the exit of the radical faction in the 1970s, returned to its ideological roots.[5]
