Workshop

The (often invisible) impact of our current food system on the global south

With Broederlijk Delen (Patricia Verbauwhede), Join for Water (Harald van der Hoek), Stefaan Calmeyn (OWW)  en Kurt Sannen (farmer/researcher)
12:30 - 14:30
De Vooruit - Studio Groot

In this interactive workshop, we discuss several food products through a concrete story. This way, we highlight various influences on people and the environment in the global south (human rights violations, excessive water usage, pesticides, poor working conditions, deforestation, unfair competition, and more).

At the end, we evaluate these cases against the principles of agro-ecology, as a holistic framework for a more sustainable food system.
