As a part of this, we work to amplify the voice and perspective of food providers and to work together on participatory action research that brings resources to the struggles through the co-production of knowledge and action. Our partners in Europe include the Land Workers' Alliance, the European Coordination of LVC, GRAIN and others.'</i></div></div><div><i style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><br></i></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">(Agroecology is still not a word that is recognised by my computer)</span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Anna </div></font></span></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
