Hei
Vedlagt ligger plakaten til Spire Ås sitt seminar :)
Her under er program for Spire Ås sitt seminar:
Spire invites you to a seminar held in relation to our fall campaign against land grab: #StoppNorskLandran
Sustainable agricultural investments?
In recent years there has been an enormous increase in land investments. Wealthy countries and multinational companies invest in agricultural land in many poorer countries in order to provide income, energy and food for their own populations. This has often happened at the expense of the local population.
Our panel will share their different opinions on this subject, followed by a discussion involving the audience.
Participants
- Aksel Nærstad: Senior Policy Advisor, the Development Fund
He will talk about how agricultural investments can become more sustainable and take more into account the local farmers.
- Øystein Botillen: Manager of Global Initiatives in Yara
He will talk about Africa and what Yara does for the development of agriculture there.
- Poul Wisborg: Head of Department at Noragric, Environment and Development Studies.
He will introduce the term "land grab" as a way of explaning what these types of agricultural investments can lead to.
26th of September at 19:00. The event will be held at UMB, Sørhellinga room 119.
After the seminar there will be served cake :D
