PLANT is a catalyst for indigenous communities and smallholder farmers to speak for themselves, their eco-systems and Seed & Food Sovereignty, instead of others speaking for them.
PLANT works with partners in Brazilian Amazonia and in sub-Saharan Africa.
“Human Rights mirror the faces of the vulnerable;
They are a discomfort to the powerful;
They are continuously translated into policy by the struggles of the excluded; They bring justice closer to our world, our common home . . .” PLANT

Michel Pimbert and Stefanie Lemke, Covenant University -- 2018
