Whether you like it or not: AGRICULTURE CONCERNS ALL OF US. Here our food is produced and grown, large scale style, taking a direct impact on communities and our environment. Agriculture is effecting all our lives, and many things are wrong in it..

People are getting low wages for high workloads, being exploited, North-South inequalities are aggravated, seeds are monopolized, animals in incredible numbers are kept and killed in undignified conditions, biodiversity is deminished through monocultures and chemically, heavily engineered economically damaged, soils leach out, contaminating water. As in other areas, agriculture is clearly showing a recurring pattern: man and nature are exploited and power is concentrated on a few.

WE WANT TO STAND AGAINST IT!

So far, we are a handful of people who are making a multi-regional movement, to question, the agriculture ruling system and offer a radical left, emancipatory counter-proposal perspective of agriculture.

We would like to meet in Hannover from May 12th to 13th and:

* discuss what Agriculture may look like from a left-radical perspective
* gather together movements and groups in the area that are active in agriculture, identify where they locate themselves and where appropriate can link to a left-radical movement and where not,
* devise first ideas for direct actions and
* consider how a radical left-wing agricultural movement arises
and can be sustained.

Would you like to revolt with us and for another farming? Fight? Then you are cordially invited to be there in May!
