Fundación Agricultores Solidarios (Pagesos Solidaris)

Supporting rural communities

Fundación Agricultores Solidarios, also known as Pagesos Solidaris, is a nonprofit founded by farmers’ and ranchers’ unions in Catalonia, the Valencian Country, and Mallorca. Established in 2001, it works to advance human, economic, and social development in agricultural communities, with particular attention to immigrants and rural areas.

Areas of work

• Welcoming and supporting immigrants
• Social and employment inclusion, including job placement and support during agricultural seasons
• Education for social change
• Gender equality and leadership opportunities for rural women
• Active aging in rural communities
• Promoting multicultural understanding and social responsibility among agricultural businesses

Where it works

The foundation operates through 11 regional offices across Spain: Andalusia, Catalonia, Extremadura, Castile and León, Castile–La Mancha, Madrid, Asturias, Cantabria, the Balearic Islands, La Rioja, and Valencia.

Projects and activities

Its initiatives include IDIVERSIM, a project supporting immigrant inclusion in agriculture in Utiel-Requena; a rural companionship program that promotes active aging; and the “Diversum Terra” book series, which raises awareness of multicultural diversity in schools and families. The foundation also holds poster contests in schools and campaigns highlighting rural women.

Team and governance

Its multidisciplinary staff includes social workers, agronomists, educational psychologists, social educators, political scientists, and law graduates. The foundation publishes its annual accounts, bylaws, and gender-equality plan in its transparency section.
