LVC's ‘Shigra Virtual’ is a video library we are building to promote peasant agroecological principles, lessons, and experiences from our member organizations worldwide.
Each week, we release a video on LVC's social media channels, showcasing experiences from various peasant cooperatives globally.
The first video, released a month ago, features the Séne Gnetá Cooperative (Kognini) in Mali, which has 28 members including 10 women, alongside the Jékafo Cooperative (Narena), with 76 members including 40 women; both cooperatives have been operating in the country for 21 years.
