FEELING FAFFY
|
|
|
The past months of being online has been a new experience for all of us. We've spent time with Mama D from Community Centered Knowledge learning about the intersections of our societies, interviewed various farmers throughout Europe for a series of farmer portraits (coming soon), wrote articles from the speakers of Reclaim the Seeds (coming soon), watched the Mahatma Gandhi gardens flourish, and continued with the solidarity farming project. Seeds seeds and more seeds!
|
We've also been getting on the streets with Shell Must Fall, as well as organising demonstrations for the #LeaveNoOneBehind demonstrations happening throughout Europe. The Dutch government still refuses to allow people to find safety in this country so we will be back for another demonstration in Dam Square next Tuesday. With that we continue our support of Behoud Lutkemeer and the current petition campaign to get the polder rezoned back to agriculture. More information on this and a beautiful poster at the end of this newsletter.
|
Keeping the momentum going has kept our spirits high, but without our monthly vokus, it has been financially difficult for ASEED in the past months. We would greatly appreciate if you would consider donating a small amount to Stichting ASEED Europe IBAN: NL47 TRIO 0254 7289 52 or if you would like to become a more regular donor please visit here.
|
We hope to see you at some of the upcoming demonstrations and events. Take care!

Degrowth is a widely discussed topic at the moment, so we decided to delve into the topic deeper. Here's what we found.
|
|
|
We've been working hard to integrate intersectionality within our work at ASEED. Also in Dutch & Spanish.
|
|
|
|
|
Some ASEEDers have been working hard to spread the seeds which we missed out on due to cancellation of the festival.

Can circular economy could enable the decoupling of economic growth from economic degradation and in which way it can address the socio-ecological crisis?

An article written by de wereld morgen about the demonstrations for the evacuation of Moria.

"The Board concluded that plants and animals obtained by ‘essentially biological processes’ are not patentable, with the exception of patent applications filed before July 2017."

Petition for the Lutkemeer
|
The Lutkemeerpolder is an ancient 42-hectare area of agricultural land near Osdorp on the outskirts of Amsterdam. The city council wants to destroy it in favour of a industrial zone. We need locally produced food, we need to protect the last fertile ground. #supportyourlocals
|
Unnecessary warehouses in place of a beautiful polder, filled with birds and flowers, perfect for wandering and biking and growing healthy organic food close to the city is short-sighted, and profit-minded. With an eye on the climate crisis it becomes absolutely ridiculous to build a business park on top of extremely necessary green spaces.
|
Therefore, we have filed an official request to change the zoning plans from "business park" to "agrarian and green". We ask as many people as possible to support this demand. Please help out, sign the petition at behoudlutkemeer.nl/petitie and share it in your networks.
