Dear collegues,
Save our seeds (https://www.saveourseeds.org/) starts a mentoring / workshop programme with the goal to have an exchange/cooperation/transfer of knowledge between actors from different fields in the frame of agriculture / food systems. The programme seems to be quite broad and allows to take into consideration the bigger picture.
Some of the mentors are part of our group, such as Martha or Nina. Maybe they can tell us more.
· They look for young people (16-30 years) from the EU from different fields.
· The participation is free of charge.
· The deadline for application has been extended to 10 April.
· Several workshops take place in April / May
· "Save Our Seeds Programme is a series of training meetings for young activists, educators, artists, local and national leaders of formal organizations and informal movements, experienced campaigners, agroecological farmers, breeders, scientists,
philosophers and seed savers."
· "The programme will be a process of a joint journey to answer many crucial questions regarding the future of our food systems."
o What is CRISPR-Cas9 and how powerful is it?
o What can agroecology teach us about biodiversity and food systems?
o What are the problems of the current agricultural systems? What definitions of the problems can we offer?
o Do we know how ecosystems self-organize and interconnect? Do we understand this degree of complexity?
o How do plants adapt to environmental challenges?
o What does it mean to privatise life? Can someone claim the right to privatise it?
o How can we mobilise to reclaim the power over our food systems?
o deregulation of EU’s GMO legislation
o etc.
