While agriculture and livestock food production in the world have become increasingly large-scale, industrial and ever more efficient for decades, the damage and inequality this food system causes is also becoming increasingly clear. Across the world, more and more people are therefore engaged in alternative, sustainable food production that ensures many generations to come to still have access to fertile, healthy land and clean water.
In this talkshow, we highlight some of these examples and hope to fuel the dialogue about this topic.

Brussel, 7 mei 2019 - In aanloop naar de Sibiu-top deze week roept een brede maatschappelijke coalitie de Europese leiders op om nu krachtige maatregelen te nemen tegen klimaatverandering. Honderden Europese steden, regio's, bedrijven, jongerengroepen, geloofsgemeenschappen en maatschappelijke organisaties dringen erop aan om onze samenlevingen zo in te richten dat we de opwarming van de aarde beperken tot 1,5 graden.

De misstanden bij de bouw van een vliegveld op de Filippijnen tonen aan hoe urgent wetgeving voor verantwoord ondernemen is, juist in Nederland, stellen Murtah Shannon (Both ENDS) en Maartje Hilterman (IUCN NL) namens een coalitie van Nederlandse en Filippijnse organisaties (zie onderaan).
Globally, the area that is suffering desertification and land degradation is ever expanding. Unsustainable and often large-scale agricultural practices, including the copious use of pesticides and fertilizers, are a major driver of land degradation, aprocess that is further exacerbated by climate change, causing more erratic rainfall patterns, longer periods of drought and unpredictable growing seasons. This is very problematic not only for the hundreds of millions of people who directly depend on land and water for their livelihoods, but also for life on earth as a whole. It is clear that this process must be stopped and reversed, better sooner than later. But how to go about it?
