CROCEVIA

The International Centre Crossroad (Crocevia) is an Italian public interest NGO founded in 1958. Crocevia works on environmental and agrarian issues, with specific focus on community alternatives. It works in partnership with many local and national civil society and small food producers' organizations in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle-East and Europe. Crocevia played an instrumental role in the formation of the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC), the largest network of organizations working in the field of food sovereignty in the world. IPC brings together all the major farmers' and fisherfolk's associations worldwide, and facilitates dialogue between their representatives and FAO.
