Join Us for a World Food Day Event

October 16: Join us on World Food Day For a Screening of “Land Rush,” discussion, and snacks 75% of Mali’s population are farmers, but rich, land-hungry nations like China and Saudi Arabia are leasing Mali’s land in order to turn large areas into agribusiness farms. Many Malian peasants do not welcome these efforts, seeing them as yet another manifestation of imperialism. As Mali experiences a military coup, the developers are scared off – but can Mali’s farmers combat food shortages and escape poverty on their own terms? On World Food Day, learn what you can do in Vermont to help support worldwide food security through Oxfam’s Behind the Brands Campaign.
