Food Otherwise Conference: Towards fair and sustainable food and agriculture systems. Een tweedaagse conferentie in Wageningen, met vooraanstaande denkers en doeners over de transformatie van voedsel en landbouw.
More and more farmers, consumers, scientists and civil society organisations are working towards sustainable and fair ways of producing food. They are forging new relationships between farmers and consumers. They offer creative, dynamic and diverse alternatives to large-scale, anonymous and industrialised food production and the increasing influence of transnational corporations.
Do you want to learn, experience and discuss new and feasible food and agriculture systems with others? Would you like to build bridges? Do you want to get to know sustainable (young) farmers? And get inspired by innovative examples from the Netherlands, Flanders and abroad?
Then come to our two day conference in Wageningen on 21 and 22 February 2014! (Translation English-Dutch provided in the plenary sessions. Some workshops will be in English).
Keynote speakers:
• Olivier de Schutter, UN Rapporteur on the Right to Food
• Vandana Shiva, Indian scientist and activist
• Pablo Tittonell, professor Farming Systems Ecology Wageningen University
• Hanny van Geel, farmer and board member of La Via Campesina Europe

- Agro-ecology
- Fair incomes for farmers
- Urban agriculture
- Permaculture / food forests

- Land rights
