The Land Struggles Series - We Belong to the Land
New website and digital publication focuses on putting land at center of public and climate policies
A new digital publication has been launched on the occasion of the International Day of Peasant Struggle. The "Land Struggles Series" is a digital publication that aims to put the right to land back on the political agenda.
It is part of a new website "We belong to the Land" by the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC). FIAN International is the facilitator of the IPC Working Group on Land, Forests, Water and Territory.
