GRAIN
GRAIN is a small international non-profit organisation that works to support small farmers and social movements in their struggles for community-controlled and biodiversity-based food systems. Our support takes the form of independent research and analysis, networking at local, regional and international levels, and fostering new forms of cooperation and alliance-building. Most of the work is oriented towards, and carried out in, Africa, Asia and Latin America.

“If you can look into the seeds of time,
And say which grain will grow and which will not,
Speak then to me.”

Were native to the grain before the knife
Expressed them, and its curves were no false curves
Put on it from without.”

the rain-bow and the rain.”
