🌍 On June 11th, Toekomstboeren will host peasant leaders from La Via Campesina for a public event in Amsterdam. La Via Campesina, the largest social movement in the world with 200 million members, unites 182 organizations from 81 countries to advance food sovereignty.
🌱 Peasant agriculture, which feeds most of the world’s population using indigenous and agroecological knowledge, faces significant threats from the commoditization and industrialization of food and farming.
🗣️ During this event, peasant leaders will reflect on food sovereignty struggles and discuss solutions to crises posed by agribusiness, neo-colonialism, and the extreme right. Speakers include:
Morgan Ody, General Coordinator of La Via Campesina
Nury Martinez, LVC and CLOC (Via Campesina Latin America)
Klarien Klingen, Toekomstboeren (Via Campesina Netherlands)
Jan Douwe van der Ploeg, Emeritus professor Wageningen University
👥 Facilitation by Eduard Nualart
🕖 Date & Time: Tuesday, June 11 at 19:30
