A three-day gathering on the Larzac plateau brought a large crowd together around opposition to the WTO and corporate control of agriculture. Peasant farmers, anti-globalization activists and international delegates debated food sovereignty, rural livelihoods and the effects of trade rules. The event echoed the Larzac farmers’ earlier resistance to military land acquisition, while building a broader transnational movement. Turnout estimates vary by source; the gathering’s scale and its role in connecting local land politics to global trade debates are better established than any single count.
