The Center works with peasant organizations to study and analyze the impact of public policy and thus generate proposals favoring peasant economic development which can be promoted by social movements. Worldwide problems related to agricultural development have led to a variety of social movements in various countries, movements favoring the permanence and development of peasant economies, the conservation and sustainable development of natural resources, fair trade, relationships between producers from different regions and economic blocks, as well as unity and mutual support in the face of agricultural modernization processes caused by economic internationalization and the reordering of world agricultural markets. The Center serves as a liaison between social movements. It participates in various projects with other groups, organizations and action networks on a national and international level. With these pages it pretends to close gaps by publishing some materials and statistical sources.
