We celebrate the 10th anniversary of our community garden Mingas Permadies. A place where people come together, work together, share knowlegde and ideas and experiment with regenerative agriculture methods such as Market Gardening, Agroforestry and Permaculture.
We will plant a hedge with native plants to support biodiversity. A symbol for a more sustainable way of agriculture, with nature and not against it.

Advertising plays a key role in what food we buy and eat. With the environmental crisis worsening and diet-related diseases on the rise, it is unacceptable that we still allow – and even support with public funds – the advertising of foods that are proven to be harmful to human health and the environment. It is high time for systemic measures for more responsible food advertising that is more in line with our national public health and environmental goals.

Marché de la Terre – Markt van de Aarde – Slow Food Earth Market
October 4 – Be-Here, Laeken – 12h to 18h
Free entrance

A day to celebrate good, clean and fair food. Farmers, bakers, brewers, fermenters, cooks and food lovers gathering to share their work, their flavours, and their stories.

The Slow Food Earth Market is more than a place to shop — it’s a place to meet, taste, exchange and learn. Behind every jar, loaf, or bottle stands a craftsperson who knows the soil, the seasons, and the fire. This is food rooted in respect for life.

For this second edition, we’ll keep the spirit alive but change the rhythm: instead of a long dinner at the end, there will be a street food offering throughout the afternoon, from 12h to 18h. Simple, generous plates made from the same ingredients you’ll find at the market stalls — to enjoy between conversations, after a workshop, or while exploring what Belgian artisans and producers have to offer.

A living, festive, local and committed market. A day to taste, to learn, to connect.

Nestled in the hills of Céret, in the Vallespir valley of French Catalonia, Le Temps Retrouvé is a biodynamic farm and vineyard run by Michaël and Céline Georget and their family. On this visit, you will discover their unique approach to farming, where vines, cereals, vegetables, fruit trees and animals coexist in harmony, following natural rhythms and ecological practices.

The experience includes a guided walk through the estate, sharing insights into agroforestry, herbal treatments for the vines, animal traction, and the resilience of this polycultural farm. You will then enjoy a farm-to-table lunch prepared with their own produce, followed by a tasting of their natural wines, crafted without chemicals and with deep respect for the land.

A rare opportunity to experience a living example of agroecology, biodiversity and Catalan terroir at its best.

Our FestEssen event will take place in Brandenburg and bring together citizens, farmers, food processors, and local decision-makers to celebrate and strengthen regional food systems. Participants will enjoy a shared meal made from local and seasonal ingredients, while engaging in discussions and creative activities that highlight the value of short supply chains, agroecology, and sustainable farming.

The event will showcase inspiring examples from Brandenburg, such as water buffalo grazing on rewetted moorlands and the revival of pseudocereals like buckwheat and millet. These stories illustrate how innovative farming and food projects can contribute to climate protection, biodiversity, and rural development.

By combining good food, storytelling, and political dialogue, the event creates a unique space for exchange, empowerment, and collective action. It will make visible how citizens and farmers can join forces to demand fair and sustainable policies – and how regional practices can contribute to a better food future across Europe.

Taking a different look at short chain food systems by drawing inspiration from the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The BDS movement does not only encourage people to boycott oppressive systems of trade but offers incentives to buy local products. How can short chain food initiatives move beyond mainstream narrative, like a lower footprint, to create more incentives for change in their consumption pattern?

Part of the agro-ecological festival Kiemkracht.

Activism in agroecology is about reclaiming the narrative that has been hijacked by the agro-industry. By questioning the dominant capitalist system, activists are creating space for small-scale farming to show how things can be done differently. In this workshop, we look back at recent farmers’ actions, such as the land action in Flanders, RéSAP in Wallonia, Code Red in Belgium and the MAB (Movimiento Agroecológico de Bolivia). Together, we reflect on how we can build a broader coalition here, which good practices can help us, and how activism can also empower the farmers’ struggle in Flanders.
