For 50 years, Velt, the association for ecological living, cooking and gardening, has been standing up for "good food and farming". During our party we will let you taste good food at various information stands, workshops, and in our cafe... an extensive market introduces you to correct, traditional products. Velt's seed collective will also be present and will help you find real, resistant varieties for your own vegetable garden.

How effective is agroecology as a solution for increasingly extreme climate change? And what role does water play in the restorative agricultural system of the future?
During a multi-day event from October 14 to October 19, 2024, we will enter into a dialogue with everyone who wants to delve deeper into these themes. From conscious vegetable gardeners to concerned policymakers to proactive farmers.

Hoe effectief is agro-ecologie als oplossing voor steeds extremere klimaatveranderingen? En welke rol speelt water in het herstellende landbouwsysteem van de toekomst?
Tijdens een meerdaags evenement van 14 oktober tot en met 19 oktober 2024 gaan we in dialoog met iedereen die zich wilt verdiepen in deze thema’s. Van bewuste moestuinier over bezorgde beleidsmaker tot pro-actieve landbouwer.

Overvloedige regenval, moeilijk bewerkbare landbouwgrond wegens de nat en overstromingen, maar tevens ook in andere periodes te lage grondwatertafels zijn in in Vlaanderen, zijn de laatste jaren al te frequent brandend actueel in Vlaanderen. Wat is het groter kader van deze problematiek in Vlaanderen? In welke mate kan landbouw mee de oplossing zijn binnen de waterproblematiek in Vlaanderen? Wat kan je doen als burger in jouw eigen tuin?

Wervel, Pomona Puur Natuur en Solidagro organiseren op zaterdag 19/10 een dag waar deze thema's aan bod komen. In de voormiddag gaan we in gesprek met Mark Shepard, áán van dá pioniers in herstellende landbouw, over zijn aanpak.



Over de middag is er een mogelijkheid om uit te wisselen tijdens een lunch met lokale landbouwproducten en stellen we het project:Smaakvol Samen:verbindend lokaal ondernemerschap voor. In de namiddag kan je kiezen uit 2 workshops: een workshop rond Watervriendelijke tuin: ontharden en beplanten gegeven door VELT-lesgever Jan Van Bogaert, een boerderijbezoek aan Pomona Puur Natuur (Melsele) begeleid door Mark Shepard met als thema waterbeheer in agro-ecologische landbouw."

Mais aussi les craintes et les difficultés ainsi que les succès et les joies du métier. On vient aussi parler de sa ferme à des porteurs de projets qui peuvent être présents.

C’est pour qui ? Pour les agriculteur-trices qui s'interrogent sur la transmission de leurs fermes. Vous êtes les bienvenus pour échanger avec nous. C’est l’occasion d’entamer ou de poursuivre sa réflexion autour de la transmission.
Cet événement est proposé par la CATL - dans le cadre du festival AlimenTerre - et sera animé par Terre-en-Vue dans le cadre du projet Trans’Mission, projet porté par Terre-en-Vue, la FUGEA et la FJA.

About the Summit

Climate Change Summit is the largest event in Central and Eastern Europe dedicated to innovative solutions for the climate change challenges we are facing today and tomorrow. The Summit takes place amid geopolitical and geoeconomics shifts at an inflection point of how societies look at desired futures.

The 3rd edition of the Summit takes place on October 15-17, 2024, in Bucharest, bringing together hundreds of participants and speakers in conversations about climate change solutions, green economy opportunities and climate action. Over the three days of the event, dozens of climate innovation and environmental policy leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs and government officials will get together in a joint effort to find local and regional solutions for a sustainable future.

Slow Food Prague will organize a Snack Workshop event for children.
Kids will be working with our members to create their own snacks. We will prepare 3 types of home-made spreads for the children, and they will choose a spread for a slide of grain bread and add seasonal vegetables, which they will also have a choice of.
The event will be supplemented with information leaflets - recipes for spreads and information about seasonal agricultural crops, which will motivate children to create their own fresh school snacks. The entire event will take place at a football stadium on the outskirts of Prague during a children's kite-flying celebration.

La transition alimentaire, vous intéresse ? Depuis longtemps ?
Vous travaillez dans le secteur ? Ou pas du tout ?

L’idée que la coopération est un levier pour booster la transition alimentaire, vous parle ? Mais, sur le terrain, différentes questions vous traversent peut-être…

Comment faire en sorte que les partenaires s’y retrouvent, que la coopération soit efficace ? Comment ne pas s’essouffler ? Quelles sont les complémentarités ? …

Pour travailler ces questions, retrouvez-nous pour une journée d’échanges.

Agroecology offers a wide range of solutions to the challenges facing agriculture and food supply. Throughout October, during the 'Days of Agroecology', various organizations and committed individuals across Switzerland are organizing a diverse program centered around their visions and agroecology projects. From knowledge exchanges and cooking events to creative family workshops – there is plenty to discover and experience with all the senses!

Be also part of the change!

All the families of the pupils of the local elementary school, kinder garden, and the local community in general will be invited to the Didactic farm that is located in the frame of the school. Gardening and animal care activities will be organised to help people get a step closer to good food and good farming. Planting actions will be organized, and vegetable and spontaneous plant harvesting followed by cooking classes will be held to encourage the locals to adopt a healthy diet.

Join us for an enlightening event that explores the intersection of queerness and biodiversity in agriculture. Together, we will dive into the nuances of food systems through the lens of inclusion and diversity, both in terms of ecosystems and human identities. Discussions will focus on how embracing biological and cultural diversity can reshape sustainable farming, promote resilience, and honor the full spectrum of experiences and approaches in agriculture. This event encourages an open dialogue on how biodiversity and queerness enrich our food systems, fostering innovation, equity, and sustainability.

23 September, EU Organic Day, the ideal opportunity to widely celebrate the organic sector and to evaluate Europe’s progress towards achieving its goal of 25% organic land by 2030. Officially launched in 2021 by the European Parliament, the Commission, and the Council of the European Union, this day represents the occasion to, among others, assess trends in consumer demands, continue raising awareness of organic in the supply chain and finally, define new targets for the future of organic in Europe. The European organic movement celebrate this day and use it to raise awareness of organic and its benefits. For three years, many of IFOAM Organics Europe members joined celebrating organic online and also organised their own events celebrating in the spirit of organic’s principles of Health, Ecology, Fairness and Care. These organisations, initiatives and events gave a face and more visibility to the organic movement and sector in September!

We organize trips to farms affiliated to the 'Custòdia Agrària' program. This activity aims to bring the reality of farmers closer to the rest of the population while also promoting local products. This field activity begins with a trip to the farm, followed by a guided tour, ending with a tasting of products. In these visits, the visitors can buy products from the farm, subscribe to its mailing list and receive more information directly from the farmers. We defend the role of farmers as food producers and true custodians of the territory!

A day full of events, round tables, show cooking, promoting organic eating and living
