Travel guide: Local. regional. Full of genius!
The impact of EU trade agreements on the regionalisation of agriculture in Berlin-Brandenburg
The guide “Local. regional. Full of genius! – Impact of trade agreements on the regionalisation of agriculture in Berlin-Brandenburg” takes you on the itineraries of agricultural products such as apples, blueberries, asparagus and milk. All these products are produced and consumed in Berlin-Brandenburg, but also travel to other countries and from other countries to our region – through trade agreements in increasing quantities. On these trips, large agricultural corporations and export companies in particular earn money, local producers and lose the climate. The guide also leads on the paths of the food transition, which numerous people, councils, farms and initiatives in Berlin and Brandenburg enter and widen, and which make agriculture more regional and sustainable again.
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.
In our podcast “LOCAL. REGIONAL. FULLY GENIAL! WHY WE NEED MORE REGIONAL AGRICULTURE” there is further information.
