17 april Peasant’s day 2023

Beste mensen,

Om internationale dag van de boerenlandbouw te vieren komen we samen op maandag 17 april op CSA Pluk in Amsterdam. Hieronder de uitnodiging in het engels. Mocht je nederlandse vertaling nodig hebben: laat het ons weten, dan zorgen we daarvoor!

Dear comrades,

The International Day of Peasant Struggles is coming soon and we would like to invite you to a collective farming event in order to work the land together, share a strong collective statement and show solidarity with other land struggles.

With the collaboration of Toekomstboeren, ASEED and Cityplot, the farmers from PLUK CSA are happy to host you for a half day in the fields in order discuss together about national and international peasant struggles, how to give visibility and actively support other grassroots groups working on food sovereignty social/food justice and have further discussion about the agroecology movement in our territories.

But just to be clear, this is not a meeting with an agenda and long powerpoint presentations. This is a gathering, mostly from collectives, comrades and friends who are working on the same topic in order to get together on such an important day. Even if it’s symbolic, we consider that it’s very important to spend that day together and finish with a collective photo/video in order to share it online in solidarity.
