50,000 tonnes – that is how many blueberries were flown from Peru to Germany in 2021. This is not only bad for the climate, but also has an impact on local agriculture – on both sides of the Atlantic. In our latest podcast episode, we talk about what this has to do with trade agreements and what alternatives there are. Rahel Volz from the Brandenburg Food Council also reports, What's the problem with regional agriculture?
For more information on how EU trade agreements affect farmers in Berlin-Brandenburg and other countries, why Brandenburg should grow more fruit and vegetables, and what ingenious initiatives from Berlin-Brandenburg are driving the social-ecological food transition, see the publication “Local. regional. Full of genius! – Effects of trade agreements on the regionalisation of agriculture in Berlin-Brandenburg“, which PowerShift publishes together with the Working Group on Farming (ABL), ATTAC Germany, Research and Documentation Centre Chile-Latin America (FDCL), Forum Environment and Development, and Naturefriends Germany.
