Together, we will explore the challenges of using interdisciplinary methods when retelling history. African rice (Oryza glaberrima) was first domesticated in the flood plains of the Niger River, present-day Mali. We will unravel the gender dynamics and technology that was present in West Africa to establish African rice cultivation during pre-colonial times and how that rice was was braided into the hair of enslaved women when they crossed the Atlantic to Suriname and North America.
About the speaker: I’m Maïmouna Kanté and I have a keen interest in the intersections between science, cultures, religions, artistic expressions, and identities related African affairs through agroecology.

14:00 -16:00 Land occupation workshop in Ppauw– by Erik and Astrid

Ppauw is a mobile ecotown on an old hospital terrain where parts of the future society are being created. It is a place where everyone can learn and experiment with ecological, grassroots solutions to big problems. The community lives off-grid, sourcing electricity from the sun, food from the soil and putting humanure where it belongs. But how did this place come to be? Erik Groen squatted the land 7 years ago as it was a neglected piece of Wageningen. How does this work? What are the reasons for occupying land and how can it be a powerful tool of resistance? Join us for a tour of the place, followed by an interactive circle talk with Erik and Astrid.

14:00 -16:00 Visit to Wageningen Student Farm (WSF) and Composting & Clayball Workshops – by Rens and Bob

Wageningen Student Farm is a self-organized association where students bring their knowledge of organic farming and biobased-production into practice. All to be discovered during our visit!

Next to this, two workshops will take place that you can join!

You can eather learn how to make compost and the different types and technics to create it. You will be able to see the different types they have on farm (“conventional’ composting, Bokashi composting & worm compost). But that’s not all, you can get your hands dirty! We are going to make a compost pile and start the process, then there will be no excuse anymore to not reuse your kitchen waste!

Another option will be to make your own seedballs. Seeds protected by clayballs are a good solution for no till or no dig agriculture. Because the seeds are protected from birds or insects, that could otherwise eat the seeds, they can be sown directly onto the land by just throwing the clayballs on the field. It is a great technique useful in natural farming that makes sowing without disturbing the soil so much easier. You will prepare your own clayballs from scratch so you will learn this fun and useful activity. Bring your own seeds!

16:00-18:00 Excursion to Nieuwe Ronde

The fields of De Nieuwe Ronde are located at 2 beautiful locations on the Wageningse Eng: on the Oude Diedenweg, against the forest edge of Wageningen-Hoog (run by horticulturist Klaas Nijhof) and on the Honingblokpad (run by horticulturist Pieter Lammerts). The fields are maintained by Klaas and Pieter, assisted by members and volunteers. They do this according to the guidelines of organic farming: no fertilizers, no pesticides (at all) and taking into account as much as possible what naturally grows and blooms.

From spring until well into winter, an abundance of vegetables, berries, strawberries and herbs grows on the fields of De Nieuwe Ronde. All subscribers to De Nieuwe Ronde can reap what they think they need on a daily basis. But De Nieuwe Ronde is much more than a field with vegetables. Away from the crowds and stress and yet close to the city, this is a place to enjoy. Harvesting vegetables yourself is an experience for children, young people and adult

They work with nature inclusive agricultural practices, the agroecological principles and special methods to enrich the soil as a basis for growing healthy crops. They will share their knowledge about these topics and about how to earn a living form one hectare (via adding value to their product and via Community Supported Agriculture). They also organize a Yearly Master Class called: Agroecology in practice and welcome volunteers & interns into their farm.

16:00-18:00 Oppressive education structures and how to overcome them – Panel Discussion (Offline and online)

In this panel discussion we would like to hear different ideas about the way western education and research is rooted within colonial and patriarchal structures and how this shape the framing of problems and solutions in our food systems. Next to this, we would also discuss possible pathways to overcome these issues.

We chose to have speakers who relate to education and research in different ways and have different methods to change it. The session will be also interactive with the audience online and offline in order to explore possibilities on how to make our education about food systems more inclusive, diverse and fair.

Speakers: David Ludwig (professor and researcher at WUR), Solina Dialo (student and activist), Louise Vercruysse (grassroot education/boerengroep), Pablo Van Neste (ecoliteracy), surprise speaker (to be announced soon).

19:00 Poetry Night

After a day of wondrous workshops we wish to gather around to share poems, self-written or found somewhere, something that comes to you in the moment, or words that have been sitting on your lips all day. As you make your way through the ecovillage and gardens and communities of Wageningen you may find yourself inspired, enchanted, and endlessly creative – what better outlet than some poetry?

We will gather in the cozy mother-ship at Ppauw to take flight into ourselves and each other. Poetry about food, about soil, about butterflies and bees and all the in-betweens are welcome. Anything else is also welcome; prose, stories, rhymes! Much love !!!!

20:00-22:00 Music: Luuk Lenders

Luuk Lenders is known for his creative folk music with special flutes, accordion, foot percussion, mini harmonica, ping pong balls and homemade instruments. Sometimes he even plays three or four instruments at the same time! His concerts are adventurous and virtuoso, touching and funny and involuntarily put a smile on your face. As a collector of flutes, he has a lot to whistle and tell. The Arabian shepherd’s flute rustles like a desert wind, the Irish whistle sings like a nightingale and the Swedish overtone flute rocks like an Elvis.
