There are alternatives. Sustainable agriculture practices involve community supported agriculture and real consumer choice. It allows food autonomy, where people can decide about their land and how to meet their basic needs. It promotes an agriculture system without corporate power, without forced production for export and a way of production that does not have to compete on the free market. Farmers and consumers relate to each other on a regional level, which not only reduces transport, but it also puts people in closer relation with their food and where it comes from. Production of food can be managed without agro-chemicals, without deforestation, without monoculture, and can give space for a production which employs people to sustainable wages.

We have to stand up for our human rights and bring dignity in how we treat other animals. Stop eating meat and exploiting animals. We have to reclaim the lands. Free the waters. Save the seeds. We must stop corporations and financial institutions from making profit on food production. The current global free market system with economic growth as the main aim will not change by itself, since it's driven by greed for profit and accumulation of capital.

People in the global south are daily facing the consequences of global greed. Their persistent struggle against the ruling industrial powers is an invitation for all to take action.

Join the struggle. We are everywhere.

See you at the barricades!
