BOOK SYNOPSIS
La Via Campesina is one of the world's largest and most important transnational social movements. Formed in 1993, it brings together rural women,peasants,
indigenous communities,small-scale farmers and farm workers from around the world. Comprising millions of people, it is a leading force against the globalization of a neo-liberal and corporate-led model of agriculture. This book explores the movement from the inside. Annette Aurelie Desmarais, a former grain farmer and long time participant in La Via Campesina, shows how peasants and small-scale farmers have found the strength to challenge multinational agribusiness corporations and international institutions whose power and influence increasingly dictate government policy.
