International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC)

The International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC) is a global organization that brings together activists, farmers, and organizations to promote local control over food systems. It advocates for farmers' rights, sustainable agriculture, and equitable access to resources, aiming to empower communities to determine their own food policies. The IPC emphasizes food sovereignty—the idea that people and communities should have the power to decide what they grow, how they produce it, and how it is distributed, resisting corporate-controlled food systems and promoting environmentally and socially just practices.
