In August 2016 Fair Food Farmers United (FFFU), the farmers' branch of AFSA, was provisionally accepted as a member of La Via Campesina (LVC), the leading voice of the global food sovereignty movement. LVC brings together millions of peasants, small and medium-size farmers, landless people, women farmers, indigenous people, migrants and agricultural workers from around the world. It defends small-scale sustainable agriculture as a way to promote social justice and dignity. It strongly opposes corporate-driven agriculture and transnational companies that are destroying people and nature.

AFSA is also a proud member of the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty

and

Urgenci: the International Network of Community Supported Agriculture.
