The National Family Farm Coalition is the US affiliate of the international peasant movement, Via Campesina. Their vision is this:

We need a family farm system, a people’s farm system, composed of government policy and a nurturing culture—a social contract—that will ensure economic opportunity and healthful environment for rural America. A family farm system would renew economic life in rural communities and deliver safe, nutritious food to consumers in cooperation with Mother Nature. A family farm culture—respect for family, neighbors, community, and Nature—must be restored to the fabric of our nation.
