Forging Food Sovereignty with Farmers
Dismantling the industrial agri-foods complex at the local food system
level must be accompanied by the construction of alternatives that suit
the needs of small-scale producers and low-income consumers, worldwide.
Farmers Forging Food Sovereignty focuses on farmer alternatives to
corporate control over production and consumption. The strategy is to
help farmer movements for food sovereignty and sustainable agriculture
document and share their alternatives among broad sectors of the rural
and urban population to create political will and advance peasant-led
food system alternatives. Our active projects in this program area
include: The Campesino a Campesino GMO Education Project in Mexico and
Central America, and our coalition work with Vía Campesina.
