The problems listed above are complex, interlinked and long-standing. By networking with individuals and organizations who are experts on one or more dimensions of the situation, promising alternatives and responses have emerged. The goal of AAI is to bring as many of these various responses together, explore their inter-linkages and synergies, and then mobilize their leverage potential in a coordinated way. The combination of a broad constituent base and a comprehensive approach to the problems of agribusiness concentration is AAI’s strength: creating a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
AAI has held more than eight regional forums and one global forum since 2002. Each of its five global regions now has a self-selected steering committee and a facilitator. AAI has a total of 13 working groups focused on research and advocacy concerning the impact of agribusiness concentration on its various stakeholders, but especially on vulnerable populations.
