Systemwandel meets Salsa-Beats: Agrarökologie in Bewegung

In the organizer's words:

What does our diet have to do with human rights, the climate crisis and global justice? Quite a lot! Behind supermarket shelves lies an agricultural system that destroys the environment and exploits people - while corporations profit and small farmers struggle to survive.

But there is another way: agroecology combines sustainable agriculture with justice and self-determination. In Central America, it is resistance in action - and hope.

Human rights activists Yonis Rivas (Honduras) and Gladis Mucú (Guatemala) report first-hand on agroecological practices in their communities - and on what makes this movement politically strong in Central America. Together with you, we want to discuss ways towards agroecological transformation - here and worldwide.

After short inputs, we invite you to meet, network - and move: The Son Obrero collective will be playing cumbia, salsa, bachata and reggaetón.

The evening is organized by the Romero Initiative (CIR) together with the university groups of BundJugend and Amnesty International, as well as the German-Latin American association UPLA e.V.
