	Campesino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A simple farmer is referred to as a campesino in Spanish.
		This is because in the Hispanic world, many people, referred to as campesinos, still survive from subsistence farming, whereas subsistence farming died out in the white anglophone world at least a century ago.
		Hence, it is customary in English to refer to subsistance farmers in Latin America as campesinos.

	Teatro Campesino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		El Teatro Campesino ("farmworkers' (campesino) theater"), is a theatrical troupe founded in 1965 as the cultural arm of the United Farm Workers.
		The original actors were all farmworkers, and El Teatro Campesino enacted events inspired by the lives of their audience.
		Teatro Campesino's early performances drew on varied traditions, such as commedia dell'arte, Spanish religious dramas adapted for teaching Mission Indians, Mexican folk humor, a century-old tradition of Mexican performances in California, and Aztec and Maya sacred ritual dramas.

		The Campesino a Campesino sustainable agriculture project arrived in Nicaragua in 1987 in the context of this agrarian reform.

		One of the best ways to relate the essence of Campesino a Campesino is by sharing the personal testimony of one of the campesinos who is very active in it.

	Land and Liberty in Rural Mexico
		Campesinos in Mexico have since the last century organized under the banner of "Land and Liberty." This combination of agrarianism with demands for political freedom and self-determination was expressed most clearly in Emiliano Zapata's Plan of Ayala.
		Although the campesino movement was not a major actor in national efforts to push the democratization process forward in the 1987- 94 period, it had become increasingly concerned with issues of internal democratization.
		The rash of campesino occupations of municipal buildings and the ouster of town officials that followed the January 1994 insurgency amply demonstrated the extent to which poor campesinos associated their economic plight with their lack of democratic rights.

		The governments that followed the toppling of the Porfirio Diaz dictatorship (1877-1910), while professing a commitment to the country's campesinos (peasantry or farmworkers), fell short of meeting the demands of the zapatistas for land and political freedom.
		Whenever campesinos have gathered to seek land or confront the State, the image and the name of Emiliano Zapata have been present.
		Campesino militants inevitably invoke his legacy to build support for their own causes.

		Campesino organizations began mobilizing across Colombia over the weekend of September 15 for a nationwide open-ended protest starting September 16, to demand that the government stop importing agricultural products that are also produced locally, since the imports push down prices and drive campesinos out of business.
		On September 18, campesino leaders held a press conference to report a second wave of threats and attacks against some of the 30,000 participants in the national campesino mobilization.
		As of September 18, another 7,000 campesinos were continuing to demonstrate in Iconozo Municipality, Tolima Province; 8,000 were demonstrating in Huila Province, especially in Palermo and La Plata municipalities; and 2,000 more—mostly displaced people—were demonstrating at the Quibdó coliseum and the INCORA offices in Chocó Province.

		For ambiance, El Campesino's conversion is reasonably successful, meaning that it has only the annoying accoutrements of most Mexican restaurants, maddening canned South of the Border music and insanely bright tablecloths.
		To be sure, the food at El Campesino (loosely translated, the country kitchen) was highly pleasing all around the table.
		Munch's No. 6 turned out to be led by a chicken enchilada of hearty taste, but Munch added some hot sauce from the center of the table to the rice and noted a funny color to the refried beans, which Munch generally hopes to find a solid-to-dark brown.

		Nevertheless, the resistance continues, in their territory, the campesinos continue wretched yet stubborn, restless, organized, with their plans and proposals, to stay alive, attached to the land, while the war is defined and a political solution to the conflict is cleared up.
		It happens to be that an organization of expropriated, poor and ragged campesinos, but with dignity and political, economic and social proposals, are the sworn enemy of the army and the “enemy within” of the Colombian state.

		The campesino is not only dying of hunger, but he is also losing all hope of being able to improve his situation if he is expecting that any help is going to be coming from the Mexican government.

	Measuring Farmers' Agroecological Resistance to Hurricane Mitch in Central America
		The presence of Campesino a Campesino, made up of farmers and technicians experienced in farm experimentation and farmer to farmer training, also provided the opportunity to carry out an extensive, participatory, action research project in the low, medium and high impact areas of Hurricane Mitch.
		The primary motivations for participating in the study were threefold: First, farmer-promoters and NGOs in the Campesino a Campesino Movement were eager to compare their farms to conventional farms because demonstrating a higher level of agroecological resistance would imply a higher level of sustainability.
		While farmer-promoters within the Campesino a Campesino Movement have carried out on-farm experiments and have shared their knowledge across borders for thirty years, this was the first time farmers had ever collaborated on a regional research project.
