If you are in London on the 29th of November 2024, join us at the AA School of Architecture, for the AA Landscape Urbanism symposium 'LOCATING THE AGRARIAN STRUGGLES FOR LAND'. Discussing land and agrarian struggles should be relevant for designers and spatial practitioners yet this is rarely on the table. From the website event:
'Land and agrarian struggles are fundamental to emancipation yet the politics of “good food”, in wealthy nations, is underwhelming. In places like the US and Europe, the radical promise of a post-capitalist food system and land reform tends to be watered down. Technocratic, apolitical narratives tend to dominate such as farm-to-table restaurants, regenerative agriculture, eco certifications, and nature-based solutions. The radical anti-capitalist potential of agroecology and food sovereignty becomes instead a capitalist reform. The structuring dynamics of race, class and gender become assimilated into the dominant liberal worldview.'
