The objective of this paper is to present the strategies of building food sovereignty from the conception of organized peasants, having as territory of research the Mulungú Settlement, located in the state of Ceará, observing the way they guarantee the production, access and consumption of food. Our field of study goes beyond the settlement and the peasants to also address the relationship of peasants organized with society, because this agrifood management is wrapped in a dimension that is crucial and determines the culture and identity of the people. We also approached what La Via Campesina International is thinking regarding the internationalization of the struggle of the peasants in a non-hegemonic perspective.
