We strongly believe that this should be a global discussion, involving farmers' organisations from developing countries and emerging economies, as well as those from OECD countries.

Agriterra believes that rural people can play a key role in the ending of hunger and poverty in developing countries, by organising themselves in strong en representative producers’ organisations. Their organisations are indispensable to reach more democracy, a better income and economic development of a country.
