campesino movements

Campesino movements are collective efforts by rural farmers and agricultural workers seeking to defend their rights, improve living conditions, and promote sustainable land use. These movements often arise in response to issues like land inequality, exploitation, and government policies that affect small-scale farmers. They aim to advocate for land reform, fair wages, access to resources, and social justice, emphasizing community empowerment and sustainable development. These movements can influence policy changes and foster greater representation for rural populations within broader social and political contexts.
