The Community Agroecology Network (CAN) is an international network committed to sustaining rural livelihoods and environments, by integrating research, education, and locally-informed development strategies. Together with our local partner organizations, we promote food security and sovereignty in rural communities through agroecological farming practices; local control over food production, distribution and consumption; alternative trade models; and the empowerment of local and Indigenous youth and women in the leadership of these initiatives. Since 2002, we have worked collaboratively with women, men, and children to end hunger and build food sovereignty among small farmers. The results are strong women and youth, vibrant food economies, and healthy families.
