What are the Aims?

We hope that via lively and creative activities, debates and discussions-about globalization, increasing TNC control, pesticides, genetic engineering, land reform, the impact of the WTO-we can mobilize and reach even more farmers and other sectors of the public in these countries, and beyond! As such the activities planned for the Caravan range from Press Conferences and other Media Events, to educational "Teach-in's", Seminars to Public Forums, Cultural Events and Street Theatre to Food Fares, Seed Exchanges and so on.

The Caravan aims to give voice to the issues affecting small farmers and their communities; and via the inter-cultural exchange and process of coming together, it also aims to foster campaigns to what we have currently, and build solidarity towards a push for safer, more sustainable alternatives.
