At the Food Autonomy Festival this year we will be hosting some stalls of different organisations throughout the 3 days! Bellow you can find more information about them!
Boerengroep
Stichting Boerengroep works adjacent to the agricultural university in Wageningen. Through the means of exchanges between farmers and students, as well as lectures, debates, film screenings and workshops, we connect theory with practice and try to challenge the colonial and neoliberal practices and discourse that the university produces through its agricultural research and education. This summer we are organising the 11th edition of the Farm Experience Internship, a 1-month agroecology course during which we will dive into agroecology as a movement and practice. Come find us!
Geef Tegengas
Geef Tegengas! We are in a crisis. Fossil companies are making billions on the backs of people worldwide. As our energy bills rise and the Global South is plundered, giant fossil polluters get richer and richer. Natural disasters and droughts cause thousands of deaths every year. Fossil fuel extraction and emissions lead to health problems, destruction of communities and loss of land.
With lies that gas is a clean fuel, the government and fossil industry justify the expansion of even móre destructive infrastructure. This is how they chain us to fossil for decades to come.
We will not let this happen. We are standing up to resist with an action camp from August 28 to September 1, 2024 in the port of Rotterdam, the epicenter of pollution in the Netherlands. Together we will make the government and the gas industry feel that we will no longer put up with this devastating policy.
The action camp will have action and workshops and is for everyone who wants to fight against the bullshit of the fossil industry and put this problem on the map in a big way.
Het Fort Van Sjakoo
Bookshop “het Fort van Sjakoo” is located in the center of Amsterdam since 1977. The building was squatted as part of a wider protest on the route of a planned highway right through the inner-city Nieuwmarkt neighbourhood, and is legalized since 1988.
The bookshop is run by a collective of 10 volunteers. We are there to provide you with information ranging from the latest news and publications to background info and history. Aside from our wide selection of libertarian, political and sociocritical literature, we also focus on foreign publications, music and magazines. Come and visit us! If you’re looking for something special, we will try to find it for you.
