Lecture series
We are organising a lecture series on the topic: The role of peasant farming in the agricultural transition.🧑🏽🌾Peasant farmers are often underestimated in agriculture, even though they feed a huge amount of people planet wide! In this lecture series we'll reflect on the peasant philosophy, the importance of peasants, systematical oppression or ignorance and the reclaiming and celebration of a new generation of PEASANTS. We start on September 30th with no one less than Jan Douwe van der Ploeg, ex-professor of the WUR with decades of experience in the topic. Famous for his sociological research on peasant farming and the nitrogen crisis. 🐄 October 7th we invite peasant farmers to share their experiences and opinions on this topic with us. Because in the end, they are the ones we're talking about! We will welcome Yanina Willet, working at No Shit Farm Zonnegoed, and hopefully there will be another peasant farmer, TBA! 🥕 We close the series on October 14 with Pablo Tittonell, Professor of Agroecology in Groningen and well-know for his research debunking the narrative that big scale agriculture feeds the world. 🌎 We're super excited and hope to see you these evenings from 19.00-21.00 in Forum B0317🐮🌽🧺
