BLOOMIN' SUMMER
|
|
|
Summer is really here, and we can sense it all around us. The Mahatma Gandhi garden is abundant with artichokes, beans and the sunflowers which are growing tall. At ASEED we are also growing, with the selection of the people who are going to join the team in the fall. We are happy to announce that five new people will start in September, four from the European Solidarity Corps and one doing an internship.
|
This also means we are starting to round off the past year, and for this we are working on a zine full of memories. This will cover the actions and activities that ASEED has both organized and taken part in the past twelve months.
|
Coming up in the next weeks we will have our first voku since March! This means on Tuesday the 28th of July we will again harvest, cook and later invite everyone to participate in a jam session, we hope to see you there.
|
On top of this, we invite you to check out the continuation of our farmers portrait series. Every weekend we publish an interview with a diversity of farmers from all over the world and how their response to the covid-19 crisis has been. Three are already available in this newsletter.
|
Enjoy these summer months and we hope to see some of you next Tuesday!

Farmer portraits
|
We decided to take a look at the different ways in which the coronavirus has affected farmers in different places around the world. To find this out, several ASEED'ers have conducted qualitative interviews with several farmers. This series is meant to shed light on the fact that, although the Coronavirus affects people all over the world, it doesn’t affect them all in the same way. On top of that, farmer’s are a group of people that have the most practical experience in dealing with zoonotic diseases, we therefore believe that their insights are very valuable within the current discourse on this topic.

We hope you enjoy these articles!

De-growth report & podcast
|
|
|
|
Here we discuss how degrowth can function both as an umbrella term, connecting different ideologies/struggles over the globe to fight capitalism, but at the same be decolonial and therefore not centering its Eurocentric agenda.
|
|
|
In this podcast we go deeper into the concept of degrowth, Giuseppe’s background on degrowth, the connection to food and nature, degrowth in relation to globalisation, and of course degrowth in times of Covid-19.
