For over a billion people across the developing world, farming is a way of life, providing food, income and a sense of community rooted in generations of tradition. Yet in recent years this way of life has come under attack.

Unfair trade rules and the rise of corporate farming have displaced whole communities and pushed millions of people into poverty and hunger. As food prices continue to escalate and the global recession cuts deeper into the real economy, the plight of small farmers is set to grow worse.

War on Want believes that the current approach to global food production must be replaced. Alongside our partners across the world - from Brazil to South Africa, Sri Lanka to Mozambique - we are fighting for a new system built on sustainability, local ownership and workers' rights.
