Aseed Infonight & Benefit Voku
19.00 Volkseten Vegazulu, vegan food, no reservations, donations welcome
A SEED is currently busy organising Reclaim the Seeds. A seed exchange fair will be held during the weekend of 10-11 March in Amsterdam. On Saturday there will be a market where seeds will be sold, traded and given away. There will also be information stands from relevant organizations, as well as workshops, discussions and film screenings. On Sunday the focus will shift towards local initiatives and actions focused on increasing food production in the city. In the afternoon we will take to the streets for theater and a demonstration. Practice, discussion and protest will be united during the weekend, all under the motto of “Reclaim the Seeds”.
The goal of the weekend is to preserve diversity in food crops, and to support farmers and organizations working towards this end. Saving, using and trading one’s own seeds is in contradiction to European regulations, which hold that only seeds from crops on a specific list can be traded. The seed exchange is also a protest against the patenting of crops. Multinationals are gobbling up more and more small seed companies, also in the Netherlands.

Later in the year A SEED will also be organising a second agriculture-action camp in the Netherlands. For more info check the website www.aseed.net or email actiekamp (a) aseed.net

During the infonight we will give you more details on the seed exchange and info fair coming spring and how to get involved. We will show the film “A personal story on Seed Saving, made by Bart Van Baardwijk in Pun Pun, an organic farm and seed saving center of selfreliance in Thailand. Afterwards we will talk about the recent developments in the Dutch and international seed market which have lead to monopolisation of seeds and the decline of bio- and seeddiversity. European legislation forces farmers to give up their independency while on the same time patents are given to common fruit and vegetable varieties. What does this mean for food sovereignity? And what means food sovereignity to us? […Lees verder]

Landbouw en klimaatverandering
De veehouderij voor vlees- en zuivelproductie is verantwoordelijk voor 18% van de wereldwijde uitstoot van broeikasgassen. Boeren in de Zuiden behoren tot de groep mensen die het eerst zullen lijden onder extreme weersomstandigheden als gevolg van klimaatverandering. Bedrijfsleven, Westerse regeringen en de VN klimaattop (UNFCCC) reageren met valse oplossingen als genetisch gemanipuleerde bomen en voedselgewassen, meer monocultuurlandbouw, meer agro-brandstoffen en andere vormen van landje-pik van de kleine boeren. Deze steun voor de industriele landbouw moet ophouden. Kleinschalige, lokale landbouw kand e wereld voeden, CO2 opslaan en de aarde afkoelen.
