"Women and queer people have always existed and have been doing a lot of work that hasn't been visible. I think we have to change our relationship to production. That's the main thing. And women and queer people carry the knowledge around how this can be done." Sarasvati Shrestha is a youth delegate to La Vía Campesina from Sweden with roots in Nepal.
The peasant youth who are fighting to remain on the land and feed their communities around the world are defying expectations and reshaping what it means to be a peasant farmer today. Their stories challenge old ideas of what a farmer looks like, and ask us to imagine a movement bold enough to shift its politics to meet them.
