Association of Smallholders
Explanation:
ie.e, people who own small parcels of land. Stricly speaking, they are indeed 'landowners', but that word doesn't have quite the same connotations as 'smallholders'.

The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, at least, calls them 'smallholders': http://www.fao.org/docrep/006/j0415t/j0415t06.htm
