Treviso, 21 April 2009 - The first G8 on Agriculture which ended on April 20 in Cison di Valmarino produced a final declaration which not only admits its own failures in the past, but previews a future full of contradictions. The G8 will never be able to alleviate hunger in the world by making its decisions behind closed doors, in the absence of the main actors in the global debate on agriculture – the millions of peasants and family farmers, women and men, who feed the world. |

The police have violently evicted the peaceful land occupation of Via Campesina women, injuring as many as 50 women. This action was taking place among other activities organised for the International Women Day on the 8th of March.
On Tuesday, 4 March, around 900 women of the Via Campesina occupied the Tarumã Farm, 2,100 hectares big, in the municipality of Rosário do Sul, at about 400 km from the state capital Porto Alegre. They arrived at the area at about 6 am and started immediately to cut down eucalyptus trees and to plant native trees seedlings. |

Campaign for food safety, biodiversity and alternatives to industrial agriculture
A SEED's agricultural campaign, Agrocadabra focusses on environmental and social issues. The two focus areas at this moment are genetical manipulation and the production and use of soy.
Food is crucially important for everyone and much of the earth's surface is used for agriculture. Despite this, hunger is widespread, the future of food production is under threat from a variety of impending environmental disasters and the agricultural sector is rife with exploitation and social inequality. There are no easy answers to these problems; behind them are complex economic and political processes. Food is one of life's basic necessities. This is why we want to draw attention to basic problems and alternatives.

Union of agriculture workers in Spain is looking for support |

This article is only available in Dutch. Below you find a link to a German site as. For English please search for 'SOC', 'Ameria' and 'union'. And you can find some info here on the 'Supermacht' site.
In de tachtiger jaren heeft de anarchistische landarbeidersvakbond SOC (Sindicato de Obreros del Campo) in Andalusië (in het zuiden van Spanje) zich ingezet voor een vergaande landhervorming in deze Spaanse streek. Na de racistische rellen in El Ejido in 2000 houdt het zich vooral bezich met solidariteitswerk voor de vele migranten die in de streek Almeria in de tuinbouw werken. De afgelopen jaren hebben het Europees Burgerforum en diverse coöperaties van Longo maï geprobeerd in de rest van Europa steun te krijgen voor de strijd van het SOC. Nu, in het voorjaar van 2007 wordt de laatste hand gelegd aan een tweede vakbondslokaal voor de arbeiders van de kassen in de 'plastikzee'. Ook daar is weer financiele steun voor nodig. |
