We are young peasants, landless and prospective peasants, as well as people who want to reassume the control over food production.
 
Under the word “peasant”, we understand people who produce food on a small scale, using it for themselves or for the community, and possibly selling a part of it. This also includes agricultural workers.
 
We aim at supporting and encouraging people to stay on the land and go back to the countryside. We want to promote food sovereignty (this expression is subject to debate and discussion within our network) and peasant agriculture, particularly amongst young people and urban dwellers, as well as alternative ways of life.  We are determined to create alternatives to capitalism through cooperative, collective, autonomous, real needs oriented small scale production and initiatives, putting theory into practice and linking local practical action with global political struggles.
 
In order to achieve this, we want to build up local actions and activists group, as well as cooperating with the existing initiatives. This is the reason why we choose not to be a homogeneous group, but to open up to the diversity of the actors fighting the capitalist food production model.
We want to address the issues of access to land, collective farming and seeds rights and exchange and hope to strengthen the impact of our work through the cooperation with activists, who focus on different tasks but share the same social vision.
 
Nevertheless, our openness has some limits. We are determined to take back the control over our lives and refuse any form of authoritarianism and hierarchialism. We engage to respect nature and living beings, but will neither accept nor tolerate any form of discrimination, be it based on race, religion, gender, nationality, sexual orientation or social status.
 
We refuse and will actively oppose every form of exploitation of other people.
With the same force and energy, we will act in kindliness and conviviality, making solidarity a concrete practice of our daily life.
 
We support the struggles and visions of la Via Campesina, and work to strengthen them amongst the young European people. We wish to share the knowledge and the experience coming from years of militancy and peasant life and enrich it with the perspectives and the strenght of the one of us who are not peasants, or not yet . We all suffer the consequences of the same policies, and are all part of the same fight.
