Tanzania is at the forefront of the global battle for control over our food. On one side corporations are lining up to seize control over the country’s land, seeds and soil. On the other side, small-scale farmers are strengthening their networks and deepening their knowledge in an attempt to keep control of their resources.
Dan Iles, food sovereignty campaigner at Global Justice Now, works in solidarity with activists trying to defend their food systems across the world. Dan will discuss his recent solidarity tour to Tanzania, collecting stories from local farmers and learning about how we can act in solidarity with the growing food sovereignty movement.
Join Dan for a discussion about the struggle over Tanzania’s food system and the wider context – in Africa, the UK, and around the world.
Organised by Global Justice Merseyside.

Corporations v Tanzanian Farmers: Dan Iles Talk at The Casa 6.30pm- Wednesday 27th April
We want to invite you to a very important talk and discussion at
The Casa Club, 29 Hope St, Liverpool, L1 9BQ(0151) 709 2148 on what is happening with this new Africa Alliance and how we can show solidarity with the small farmers who are affected.
Dan has just recently returned from a fact finding visit to Tanzania to gather important research on how the Tanzanian farmers are fighting back successfully against the Big Corporations that are trying to grab control of land, seeds and soil.
On the other side passionate small-scale farmers are strengthening their networks and deepening pre-existing knowledge in an attempt to keep control of their resources.
Also, a gentle reminder to please note the early start: 6.30pm sharpish as our guest speaker has to get a train before 9.00pm due to a prior early commitment next day – but, of course we can continue discussion ’til 9.00.
Trade Campaign
A year ago the EU and Canada finished negotiating a toxic trade deal, known as CETA, that includes a secret corporate court system that would allow big business to sue our government for things like raising the minimum wage or denying fracking applications.
Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have already admitted that these corporate courts are very problematic. We need to remind them that this means they have to vote against CETA.
CETA is in many ways similar to the more well-known EU-US trade agreement, TTIP. It poses a major threat to our public services, local jobs, the environment, and to the safety of our food.
Email your MEPs now and tell them to stop CETA
