Centro de Estudios para el Cambio en el Campo Mexicano (CECCAM)

The Center for Studies on Rural Change in Mexico (CECCAM) is a Mexican non-governmental organization that, since its foundation in 1992, has worked to support various networks of small farmer and indigenous organizations on both regional and national levels. The Center is a center for research specializing in rural issues and social movements from the perspectives of small producer and indigenous organizations.

As we eat traditional Latin American corn dishes, we will consider the global web involved in the production and consumption of our most basic needs, and the most ancient grain of the Americas.
