Stall at Saltburn Farmers Market – 10th June
Look out for members of Global Justice Cleveland at Saltburn Farmers Market, near Saltburn Railway Station, on Saturday 10th June.
We will be engaging visitors to the market with the need to support small-scale farmers’ rights.
Small-scale food producers feed 70% of the world’s population, producing food for local markets and communities using ecological techniques. But this is under threat by the growing dominance of corporations in the global food system. Global agribusiness is grabbing more land, pushing privatised seeds and promoting mass usage of expensive farming chemicals. As big business profits, small-farmers struggle to keep control of land, seeds and their way of life.
