Amidst the global food crisis, the food producers of Asia Pacific are now reclaiming agroecological farming systems and methodologies through their own organizations and support institutions. These local alternatives are rooted in local contexts and situations and are mindful of sustainable management of community resources.
 
This book is a compilation of stories and practices of sustainable farming systems from four countries of the region. Other food producers may draw strength and inspiration from these stories, to counter the corporate agenda and to support struggles for a people-centered economy.
