Via Campesina

Via Campesina is an international movement that brings together small-scale farmers, peasants, and indigenous peoples to promote their rights, defend local agriculture, and advocate for fair food systems. It emphasizes sustainable farming practices, social justice, and resisting corporate control over food and land. By uniting diverse rural communities worldwide, Via Campesina aims to ensure food sovereignty—people’s right to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound methods—while challenging policies that favor large corporations over traditional farming and local food security.
