This is a special meeting of the Working Group on Veganic Farming that will be partially devoted to watching videos on veganic farming and furthering our education together.

We will meet in Oakland at the home of one of our members. Email us for the exact address or to coordinate carpooling.

****************

The Working Group on Veganic Farming is a group of farmers and activists who promote veganic farming and gardening as a basis of our food systems.

Reclaiming and defending space for gardening and small-scale farming is vital to creating just and sustainable food systems. Unfortunately, the food movement has largely defaulted to farming models that depend on animal exploitation, creating a sense that local sustainable food necessarily involves farming cows, goats and other animals. Likewise, organic production is widely dependant on animal fertilizers, most of which are factory farm by-products.

What can we do as activists and farmers to build better food systems without contributing to animal exploitation? How can we put veganic farming on the table and promote vegan agroecology as the basis of our food system? We discuss this and more at our meetings.

If you are interested in food sovereignty, agroecology, animal liberation, or any related topic, please come share your thoughts! Please also bring a vegan snack to share.
