Ramón Vera-Herrera

Ramón Vera-Herrera has worked since 2009 at GRAIN—an international organization working to support peasant farmers and social movements in their struggles to achieve community-controlled and biodiversity-based food systems. He is the editor of Biodiversidad, sustento y culturas, a quarterly magazine produced in collaboration with ten Latin American partner organizations, as part of the Alianza Biodiversidad. He also actively works with the rest of the GRAIN team in Latin America to refine the programme in the region. He organizes translations of GRAIN materials into Spanish and occasionally collaborates with bilaterals.org; he actively participates in the struggles of indigenous peasants in his country and with other of our counterparts in Latin America. Vera-Herrera also edits the monthly Mexican magazine Ojarasca on indigenous affairs as part of the newspaper La Jornada.
