Support the Project Sowing Alternatives
guillem
Dear friends,
A group of dedicated Agroecologists in Barcelona have launched a crowd-funding campaign with Goteo to finance a project called Sembrando alternativas (Sowing Alternatives). The objective is to develop digitally available tools designed for Local Agroecological Transition Initiatives that are looking for systematized forms of dynamic self-organization.
If you find this initiative of interest, you can support it by donating here:

Also, if you know more people who might be interested in seeing this project through, help us to reach them through email, social networking, blogs and other platforms.

tool for
alternatives to come!

Project Presentation
Current times and changing paradigms make alternatives a necessary step towards resilience. Agroecology allows for an economic restructuring that goes beyond capital logic, creating returns in the form of alternatives that lead to the reconstruction of cooperative relationships to nature.
This not only implies the recovery of vitality of our rural communities, with renewed emphasis on urban-rural relationships, but an experiment of the creative capacity of using our own energy and bodies to grow food, while revisiting traditional knowledge, collecting and saving ancestral seeds, threading innovative channels of exchange, and through Agroecological thinking, weaving networks together to challenge genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and agroindustrial globalization.
The project "Sembrando alternativas" (Sowing Alternatives) wants to design and share tools that stimulate and facilitate the Agroecological transition of our territories. A digitally accessible manual was proposed as the next step to the I Seminar for Local Agroecology Transition Initiatives held in Barcelona, Spain, December 2012. This campaign launches the crowd-funding stage of the process from which this manual, in addition to two audiovisual documents, will be published online.
The content of these tools will draw from the knowledge-base created by the 80 people and 50 Agroecological initiatives from all over Spain, that participated in the I Seminar (Dec, 2012). Three intensive days of discussion and exchange, brought together by participatory and collaborative problem-solving dynamics, gave a wealth of knowledge and shared experiences. Thanks to careful documentation of these days, this body of information is now able to be transformed into a manual, as a common tool with which to infuse Local Agroecological Transition Initiatives.
If you would like to know more about the I Seminar (Dec, 2012) check its blog: http://seminariodlae.wordpress.com/
If you think this initiative meets your interests and project’s needs, you can support its next steps by making a monetary contribution to the best of your abilities, and help us get the word out making the link available through websites, forums, social networks, and email.

as possible and
continue to strengthen the Agroecological movement. We
need and
appreciate your contribution!
