World food day action: food sovereignty football!
by FAadmin • September 29, 2014 • News, Courses & Events, Uncategorized
On world food day, the Landworkers’ Alliance is bringing people together for a public protest. We want you to come along and get involved.
What: The un-level playing field between corporate and sustainable agriculture in the UK is largely the result of DEFRA policies that favor the biggest players. DEFRA have just stripped farmers with less than 5ha of land of their entitlements to financial support while refusing to limit payments to the biggest landowners.
To expose this unjust state of affairs, the Landworkers Alliance will be hosting this hilarious public stunt in which Family Farmers United take on Agri-Business FC and DEFRA, the bias ref, reveals its allegiance.
When:
Thursday 16th of October. Meet at 1:00pm
Where:
St. James Park. We’ll meet in the North East corner of the park, just off The Mall (Nearest station Charing Cross). Then head off to a secret but high profile location.
If you’re a farmer, food sovereignty campaigner, or food lover get your boots on, come along and get involved. Everyone is welcome to take part and we need as many people as possible to make this an action our government cannot ignore.
To get involved:
