campesino (peasant) organizations

Campesino (peasant) organizations are groups formed by rural farmers to collectively address issues like land rights, access to resources, fair prices, and working conditions. These groups provide a unified voice to advocate for policies benefiting small-scale farmers, improve their economic stability, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. By cooperating, members can share knowledge, negotiate better terms with markets or governments, and strengthen their community resilience. Such organizations play a vital role in empowering marginalized rural populations and ensuring their interests are represented in social and political processes.
