A message to all members of the Landworkers' Alliance from @freedomflotilla.bsky.social vessel ‘Handala’:

​“We as landworkers, we as La Via Campesina, we have always been in solidarity with Palestine.

Stop the genocide, stop the killings, stop using starvation and famine as a weapon of war.”

🌳 Have you read 'Share The Land' yet?

Our report models several scenarios for an agroecological #LandSharing approach to land use.

Our conclusion? W/ the right trade policy, dietary changes & approach to land use, we can source the majority of our food via domestic agroecological local food webs.

🍉 FARMERS AGAINST FORCED STARVATION 🍉

An open letter to the people of Gaza, with love.

As farmers and food producers who dedicate our lives to producing food, we cannot stand by in complicit silence as the people of Gaza are forcibly starved.
