Info

The European Coordination Via Campesina (ECVC) is an organisation representing farmers, agricultural workers’ and rural organisations across Europe.

Geschiedenis

The European Coordination Via Campesina regroups the organisations formerly gathered in the European Farmers Coordination (CPE 1986-2008) and other farmers’ and agricultural workers’ organisations of Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Greece, and Turkey.

Our principal objective is the struggle for other food and agricultural policies based on more legitimacy, fairness, solidarity and sustainability, wich are necessary in Europe to ensure food security, food safety, public health, employment in rural areas and to tackle the issues of the global food crisis and climate change.

In Europe, each day, over thousand farms disappear because of a lack of real political will to keep sustainable family farming . We ask for the development of diverse and sustainable family farming linked, and the application of food sovereignty as framework of a new Common Agriculture and Food Policy.

You will find a "common base" which presents the values and priorities of the European Coordination Via Campesina.
