Food for Justice: Coalitions for Socioecological Transformation

Marcha das Margaridas is a coalition of women’s movements for an alternative rural development model that has organised a significant protest action every four years since 2000, bringing women from across Brazil to the national capital. “Wir haben es satt!” (“We’re fed up!”) is the street protest from the coalition Meine Landwirtschaft (My Agriculture) in Germany that brings together farmers, environmentalists and consumers and takes place every year since 2011 to demand agrarian and food change. 

The keynote presentation of Renata Motta (HCIAS, Universität Heidelberg) is based on research findings from the BMBF-Research Group “Food for Justice” (link externo, abre uma nova janela)and compares these two broad coalitions demanding a socioecological transformation in food system, looking at what are considered the main injustices in each context.
