more than food...

I´m Gavin Venn. I've spent the past four years developing a five acre organic farm in Catalunya. Along with the experience of learning how to farm, the challenge is how to make a living from small scale food production by connecting with receptive markets, adding value to produce, and developing ways to grow food with less water. These are challenges shared by small scale farmers in all countries, so developing solutions benefits global food security.

This experience of working with the land is bringing a sense of re-connection, at a time when more people are feeling increasingly disconnected. Rediscovering our interdependence with nature could help us develop practical strategies to adapt with our changing world - a world that is beseeching us to set new priorities.

" We, small-scale farmers and fisher peoples, pastoralists, women, youth, indigenous peoples, other social movements and civil society organisations, have taken the challenge together to propose policies and actions that would lead to the eradication of hunger and malnutrition in our world. "
