About

Earth is our home.

All peasants living on Earth have an equal right to its benefits and responsibility for its care.

We call upon every nation to respect this by declaring all land a shared resource.

There is only one planet for us all. We undertake:

To make the most of all of it, for all of us;

To take action focused on shared ownership and management of land;

To provide our members with the means for a sustainable self-reliant life;

To protect Earth’s resources and oppose the abuse or destruction of them.

The mission of the Landless Peasant Party UK is to bring about Landocracy -

A political and economic system based on equal rights and responsibilities to land.

For a New World, New Economics
The 2008 financial crash and the shift of power from west to east raise questions about the future of capitalism. Three new books, critical of the market fundamentalism of the past, begin to map out what a new economy could look like. A review by Robert Skidelsky. […]
Trade Not Aid?
The current free trade model promoted by the World Trade Organization prevents developing countries from introducing economic reforms suitable to their own poverty-reduction needs. A ‘one size fits all’ approach will never alleviate inequality and hunger, writes Justin Frewen. […]
World Bank Contravenes Responsible Lending Principles
Despite a commitment to allow developing countries greater policy space, the World Bank continues to influence economic reforms through loan conditions. If recipients are to successfully address poverty, such harmful conditionality must end, writes Nora Honkaniemi. […]
Death by Growth: What the Climate-Bill Autopsies Missed
As long as economic growth remains the number one priority of governments, any effort to seriously address climate change will fail. Policymakers in the US and around the world should instead aim to create a steady-state economy that prioritises sustainability and well-being, argues Keith Harrington. […]
Politicizing Economic Policy
Creating a global economy that is both sustainable and equitable means adjusting the excessive resource use of the rich in order to meet the needs of the world’s poor. Such a shift requires state involvement in the market that is both internationally and nationally democratic, writes Jayati Ghosh. […]
Africa: Up For Grabs
European companies are buying land throughout Africa to grow biofuel crops that directly compete with food production. European Union countries must drop their biofuels targets or else risk plunging more Africans into hunger, says a report by Friends of the Earth. […]
How Poor is Too Poor?
The world is on track to meet the Millennium Development Goal on halving the number of people living below the poverty line by 2015. The trouble is that this line – set at a dollar a day – is a deeply flawed and unreliable measure. We need a radical, new rights-based approach to defining poverty, argues David Woodward. […]
The Urgent Need for Debt Relief in Pakistan
Pakistan's $3 billion annual debt repayments dwarf current levels of emergency aid pledged in the wake of recent flooding. Debt relief and grants, rather than new loans, are essential if the country is to recover and develop the means to withstand such disasters in future. […]
Waging Peace from Afar: Divestment and Israeli Occupation
A growing grassroots movement is using the techniques of the South African anti-apartheid activists to challenge US support for Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories. Could the economic pressure exerted through boycotts, divestment, and sanctions be enough break the blockade? By Phyllis Bennis. […]
The Real War On 'Terror' Must Begin
In the aftermath of Pakistan’s devastating floods, the so-called ‘war on terror’ must be rethought. A new struggle against poverty and hunger is essential to secure a peaceful future for the people of Pakistan and the wider world, writes Mark Levine. […]
