The SOIL ALLIANCE hub project was launched this year to foster a radical perspective on food and fibre production and consumption. 'Soil Alliance seeks to promote an ongoing dialogue between rural and urban based workers of the soil as well as among those who consume the food and fibre the soil produces. It hopes to provide news and analysis in order to encourage and facilitate collaboration among farming, ecology, locally grown, food movement and climate change activists.' In the context of the current trend to impose consumption shibboleths on agriculture, the SOIL ALLIANCE tries to capture some of the reality of working the soil in the face of climate change impacts and contemporary capitalism. http://soilalliance.blogspot.com.au/ Recent posts: Millions face drought and famine in Southern Africa...
