Abstract

This article analyzes how agrarian movements in Southern Africa —particularly in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and South Africa— confront the corporate model of food production and trade. It highlights La Vía Campesina Southern and Eastern Africa and the Rural Women’s Assembly, which demand justice beyond Corporate Social Responsibility and build agroecological economic alternatives that challenge corporate power in the agri-food system.
