La Via Campesina (international peasants movement)

La Via Campesina is an international grassroots movement that unites small-scale farmers, peasants, rural workers, and indigenous communities to promote food sovereignty, sustainable agriculture, and social justice. Founded in 1993, it advocates for their rights to land, resources, and fair living conditions while opposing large corporate control and industrial farming practices. The movement emphasizes traditional farming methods, local food systems, and environmental stewardship, aiming to create a more equitable and sustainable global food system that prioritizes people over profit.
