Food Sovereignty Network

Community Partners

Our program offerings are rooted in building relationships and networks for social change. We promote bio-regional networks aligned with social movements around the world, who defend the formation of cooperatives, the promotion of popular education, and increased autonomous land access. We partner with farmers, educators, cooperatives, and grassroots organizers.
