Reciprocity is a 'profit for purpose', social enterprise business, focused on economic justice. It's core function is to support and promote the voices and perspectives of the Global Peasant Movement.
Reciprocity's work is directed to:
Building reciprocal partnerships among campesina organisations and communities
and
Discovering and promoting the 'voices' of small-scale family farmers / campesinas in their struggle for food sovereignty
How we DO it: We are Social Process Activists. We challenge conventional thinking about HOW we engage together around critical issues. We use Reciprocity Practices to build shared understandings and shared agreements - the foundations of effective partnerships.
