campesinos

Campesinos are rural farmers or agricultural workers, primarily found in Latin America, who work the land to grow crops and raise livestock. They often live in villages or small communities, maintaining traditional farming practices. Many campesinos own small plots of land, while others work on larger estates, and they play a vital role in local food systems and rural economies. Despite their crucial contributions, they often face challenges such as land rights issues, limited access to resources, and economic instability. The term emphasizes their connection to the land and rural way of life, reflecting both their livelihood and cultural identity.
