International Peasants' Movement

The International Peasants' Movement, often represented by organizations like La Via Campesina, advocates for the rights of smallholder farmers and rural communities worldwide. It seeks to address issues such as land reform, food sovereignty, and sustainable agriculture. The movement promotes equitable access to land, resources, and markets, while resisting industrial agriculture's negative impacts on people and the environment. By uniting peasants globally, the movement aims to empower farmers, defend their livelihoods, and promote social justice in the food system, emphasizing the importance of local food production and community resilience.
