Fossil Free Agriculture reading group
Short url:
Starting in January 2019 ASEED is experimenting with a public Fossil Free Agriculture reading group in collaboration with Taste Before You Waste, in order to improve our knowledge and critical analysis of the complex and multi-layered topic of industrial agriculture. Each month, a different focus will be chosen with connected reading or video material. In January we will touch the topic of yields. We would like to discuss the widespread argument of organic farming being less productive than conventional techniques that use synthetic fertilizer. There is the option of joining Taste Before You Waste for dinner at 18:30. If you would like to participate, please send an email to info@aseed.net, specifying if you are joining for dinner or later at 19:30 for the reading group.
