Participants
Results from Leipzig 2014
Proposals for the Transition
- Urban Planning should foresee areas for planting local food (i.e. Apple trees on streets) (local level)
- Subsidies for small scale ecological food production (EU Level)
- Taxes for agroindustry (EU level)
- Collective land ownership & collective production and processing should have a better legal framework (national level)
- Education should teach alternatives (society level)
- Right to Land for small farmers (global level)
Visions for a degrowth society
- Much less animal life-stock living in much better conditions
- Produce locally which is possible and trade globally what is necessary
- Direct connections between producers and consumers food sovereignty
Controversial questions
- What degree of de-industrialisation should we aim at in agriculture?
- Should markets continue to exist?
