Latin American Peasant Movements

Latin American peasant movements are organized efforts by rural farmers to improve their living and working conditions, land rights, and social justice. Historically, these movements emerged in response to land inequality, poverty, and exploitation by elites or foreign companies. They seek land redistribution, fair wages, and access to resources, often mobilizing communities through protests, cooperatives, and political activism. These movements have played a significant role in shaping social and political change across the region, advocating for peasant rights, sustainable agriculture, and rural development.
