Across Latin America, there are eight agroecology schools established by La via Campesina, the world's largest peasant movement, and the Latin American Coordination of Rural Organizations (CLOC for its acronym in Spanish). Better known as the Latin American Agroecological Institutes (IALAs for its acronym in Spanish), these educational institutes are situated in Venezuela, Brazil, Nicaragua, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Colombia and offer high school graduates from peasant or Indigenous backgrounds educational and professional opportunities to support their local farming communities. These IALAs are a virtual space for youth, women, and Indigenous communities to receive practical training in agroecology and strengthen the grassroots food movement in Latin America. For the past 12 years, they have strengthened young activists' capacities and designed an exchange to collectively develop an extension system that recognizes peasant and Indigenous agriculture's role—in achieving agroecology.
