Building Alliances for Food Sovereignty: La VĂa Campesina, NGOs, and Social Movements
This chapter examines La VĂa Campesina’s strategy of consolidating strategic alliances in its global struggle to build food sovereignty. After discussing some of La VĂa Campesina’s initial challenges in working with nongovernmental organizations we focus on two case studies: first, La VĂa Campesina’s work with Veterinarios Sin Fronteras, based in Spain, and second, the International Planning Committee on Food Sovereignty. In both cases we analyze some of the convergences and divergences experienced by the social actors in efforts to build strategic alliances.Peer reviewe
