Your
donations help
us remain
autonomous!
La Via Campesina
depends on
funding from our
supporters who
are committed to
the vision of
food
sovereignty.
Your support
allows the
global movement
to remain
autonomous and
independent of
all influences,
and to voice our
grassroots
proposals and
demonstrate our
agroecological
practices in
international
and national
policy-making
spaces. We
believe that the
transformation
of our society
into a more
inclusive and
equitable one
requires the
collective
efforts of all
who firmly
believe in the
ideas of social
justice and
equity. DONATE |

Palestine : A delegation from La Via Campesina in
the West Bank
witnesses the
devastating impacts
of the Israeli
occupation.
During the 10-day
visit, the delegation
toured key regions,
including Nablus, the
Jordan Valley, Ramallah,
Bethlehem, and Hebron,
and met with Palestinian
farmers, governors, and
representatives from
civil society
organizations, including
women’s cooperatives,
youth groups, and human
rights advocates. The
meetings revealed a
bleak reality:
systematic policies of
home demolitions, land
seizures, and
restrictions on access
to water have devastated
the livelihoods of
Palestinian farmers and
rural communities. READ MORE |

Haiti: Devastating floods leave a tragic toll on
lives and
livelihoods
Floods
have added a new layer
of suffering and loss
in Haiti, a country
already grappling with
gang violence and
extreme poverty.
Today, Haiti is facing
one of the worst
natural disasters in
its history, with
devastating floods
hitting especially the
north, Grande-Anse,
and the Northwest. The
human and material
losses are tragic.
Dozens of bodies have
already been recovered
from the waters.
Peasants, who form the
backbone of the rural
economy, have lost
nearly all their
crops, as well as
animals vital to their
livelihood. READ MORE

25 – International
Day for the
Elimination of
Violence Against
Women: Stop
Violence, Hunger,

climate change, and
hunger in rural areas
requires popular land
reforms and the
creation of an
alternative model of
food production
worldwide. We seek to
radically transform
the economy to place
the reproduction of
life at its center. READ MORE

Responses to the

False

systems, genetically
modified crops,
geoengineering
megaprojects,
"climate-smart
agriculture," and
