Welcome to Agribusiness Action Initiatives

AAI is a global action network responding to corporate power in the food system.

We are a growing international network of NGOs, activists, academic researchers, and food system experts from farm, labor, environment, consumer, church and civil society organizations. We are alarmed by the market concentration of a handful of transnational agro-food conglomerates and their inordinate power over our most basic life system: agriculture and food.
