The Southeast Asia Regional Initiatives for Community Empowerment (SEARICE) started as a solidarity group in 1977 and works with farmers, indigenous peoples, women, and youth in rural communities. It is an action-oriented, policy advocacy-driven, and research-based institution focused on science, technology, and information on agroecology and the protection of farmers’ rights. Its mission is to be a catalyst and facilitator for gender-sensitive and inclusive development and empowerment of rural farming communities for the advancement of farmers’ rights, food and nutrition security, and sustainable stewardship of earth’s resources.
