We Belong
to the Land
“Realizing people’s and communities’ right to land and enacting agrarian reform need to be at the center of the solutions to rising inequalities and current multiple crises.”
A network of organizations of small-scale food producers, Indigenous Peoples, marginalized communities and civil society groups fighting for the right to land
“We are committed to advance food sovereignty to build a world in which the right of all people to adequate, healthy and culturally appropriate food is realized.”
