To the attendees of the Women in Agriculture Workshop on Sunday 29th October

You are owed an apology. This is mine. I am a University of Gastronomic Sciences Masters student and had volunteered to cover this workshop and provide a summary for the Terra Madre website. Due to the lack of translation facilities I was unable to gain anything that could be described as a suitable overview. Due to the technical drop outs I could not hear everything and due to speakers being added at every turn, everyone was reduced to three minutes presentation time. The fact that the room was at ‘standing-room only’ level shows just how much the issues this workshop was to cover matter.

For a World with Good, Unpolluted and Fair Honeys

Honey Producers at Terre Madre will discuss a “Honey manifesto�.

What makes quality honey? Tradition, biodiversity, hygiene and no antibiotics; quality honey opposes the industrial model, which produces large quantities, using lots of chemicals and little human labor.

Below is a draft of the manifesto in English.

Check out a draft of the document, in different languages, at the main Terre Madre website, program for the 29th October.

Kenya calls for Masters Student Final Stage: Step One, raising $3,000 for the Molo Connection!

Hello everyone out there in Terra Madre blogland. I’m Gary, UniSG Masters student and ‘owner’ of the mouth2mouth blog over on the blogroll. I’m off on Monday 21st August to start my final stage project in Kenya with Samuel Muhunyu and Ugo Vallauri. We’ve got lots of stuff planned based around the subject of general communications and knowledge sharing for food communities, but we’ll be posting more of that as we go one, but we have one rather pressing requirement.
