International Farmer & Peasant's Rights Coalition La Via Campesina Has A Strong Presence at World Climate Change Conference

La Via Campesina organzing meeting - Cochabamba, Bolivia

Many organizations have come from all over the world to participate in the World People's Conference for Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Some of these organizations are small or have just sent part of their delegation while one particular group has a very strong physical presence at the conference. Noted by their large green flags, green hats and green scarves, La Via Campesina is an international organization that fights for the rights of peasant farmers.  Their work on an international level has set the terms for the defining right of food sovereignty.
