World Family is creating a space for dialogue and resource sharing between small scale farmers and all of us who value our environment and our communities. All over the world we have a common interest in opposing the take over of the food supply by agribusiness. People and the food we eat are too important to be turned into mere commodities. It is through a thousand small acts of solidarity that we can support and empower the small scale farmers to feed the world.
