International Peasants' Movement (Via Campesina)

La Via Campesina, or the International Peasants' Movement, is a global organization representing small-scale farmers, pastoralists, rural women, and indigenous communities. It advocates for their rights to land, seeds, fair food systems, and sustainable agriculture. The movement aims to challenge corporate control of agriculture, promote food sovereignty, and ensure that rural peoples can thrive without compromising environmental health. By uniting diverse rural groups worldwide, Via Campesina seeks to influence international policies and raise awareness about the importance of peasant-led, sustainable farming practices for food security and social justice.
