Small family farmers and indigenous people are creating new ways to organize, survive, and prosper as they resist the domination of their land, seeds and markets by multi-national agribusinesses. Farm worker and trade activists from Skagit Valley, Whatcom County and Seattle recently went to the World Social Forum in Brazil to learn how farmers and farm workers are organizing to make a better world possible for themselves and their consumers. What are social movements and governments in the Global South proposing to replace the WTO agricultural trading system that pits subsidized agribusiness against small farmers? Come and hear what they learned, and talk about what we can do to support sustainable local producers and stand in solidarity with family farmers and farm workers both globally and in Washington State
