of their products.” |
| FDC :
In Mexico, Frères des Hommes supports
the Farmers’ Democratic Front, in its fight to
guarantee that peasant families have enough food for
the whole year. This has been done through “food
storage barns,” which serve to improve the farmers’
ability to sell their products (price negotiation and
distribution), and which allow access to credit from
micro-credit unions.

families that make up the FDC, in Chihuahua in northern
Mexico, live and work in difficult conditions, due to
the arid climate. The region’s irrigation systems
remain solely for the use of large growers. © FDH |

| Working together
within the Frente Democratico Campesino, the families
of the small-time farmers were able to build an effective
system to facilitate the distribution of their collective
output, access to credit, and the availability of a
year-round food supply. © FDH |
