1 - Farmers coming together

Farming communities need to, as well as, do organize themselves, especially when they belong to small scale categories and are pursuing agroecological approaches. Working together can take many forms, and a variety of terms are used to cover the scope of this idea – collective action, farmers’ organisations, womens’ groups, unions, co-operatives, self-help groups, networks, alliances etc.

These terms imply a range of methods for joining forces, at different levels, in a variety of sizes and scopes, with different aims, or with different legal status. In this issue of the LEISA Magazine we present articles, which discuss and analyse the experiences of some of these types of groups, looking especially at how, where and why farmers organise themselves, and drawing out some lessons.
