Watch the Webinar:

The land question has been at the heart of rural conflicts for centuries. Food production, access to resources, the protection of the right to adequate housing and free movement, access to and control of land has been shown time and again to be an absolutely central dimension of struggle. This AEPF webinar is designed as an open exchange on the strategies and tactics of rural social movements.

How can we collaborate to defend land rights and reclaim access to land?

Based on the first webinar of this series, in which we explore alternative visions of agricultural systems, this webinar brings together concrete struggles over land from different geographical and political perspectives, with the aim of learning from struggles in Asian and European rural social movements.
