The UK Food Group invites you to an afternoon conference on 27 September:

The Food Producers: How can they continue feeding the world?

Aconference looking at the real questions of how small-scale production can respond to the challenges of providing food in ways that eradicate hunger, improve equity and restore the environment.

Most food in the world is grown, raised and harvested by small-scale food producers. Through the framework of food sovereignty they have articulated their vision of how the multiple challenges facing food production can be met sustainably, but need support to produce enough healthy food for more people.

In the wake of food riots, at a time of a devastating famine, and with growing recognition of the damage done by the industrial food system, food and agriculture are at the top of the political and peoples’ agendas. Join the debate to find real solutions, with representatives of small-scale food producers — those who are really feeding the world:

  • Mamadou Goïta, ROPPA (West African Network of Farmers’ Organisations)
  • Norman Leask, Scottish Crofting Federation (UK member of La Vía Campesina)
  • Ikal Angelei, Turkana pastoralist youth leader (Kenya)

There will also be feedback from the Nyéléni Europe Forum for Food Sovereignty

Where: Friends House, 173-177 Euston Road, London NW1 2BJ (the closest tube stations are: Euston and Euston Square) When: Tuesday 27 September 2011, 2-5pm Register: The conference is open to the public and all are welcome to attend.
