Dan Illes with a group to Tanzanian farmers on his recent Fact Finding visit to Tanzania
Dan will speak at our event on 27th April in Liverpool
On 27th April we have a great opportunity to hear Dan Illes on how the farmers in Tanzania are fighting back against the new agribusiness corporations stitchup and land grab of their assets and live hoods.
The central venue for this important meeting is yet to be decided.
Here’s what Dan will be talking about on the evening:
Tanzania is a country at 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 passionate small-scale farmers are strengthening their networks and deepening pre-existing knowledge in an attempt to keep control of their resources.
For this reason, Dan Illes from Global Justice Now spent 10 days traveling around the country with the job of collecting stories and finding out how we can offer our solidarity to the growing food sovereignty movement. In this talk Dan will guide you through the main players in struggle over Tanzania’s food system and discuss the wider context in Africa and around the world
