Geographical Imagination. Love this concept! #geography

[Geofoods @geofoods_de]

Because #food justice requires geographical imagination! Here is what it means:
#geography #justice #JustTransition

Excellent video. What does it need to really understand a place? #Geography

#SocialJustice is also about #DecentWork!

On #WorldDayofSocialJustice EFFAT is w/ all workers in the European #meat sector still facing underpayment and exploitation.

Their conditions need an immediate response at the
#EU level.

EFFAT demands to #MeatTheStandards

[EFFAT @EFFAT_org]

𝟱𝟬𝟬 deaths.
𝟭𝟱𝟬𝟬 reported injuries.
Sad numbers for 𝟭 ordinary year in EU #Agriculture.
Yet #ZeroDeath is achievable w/;
-Effective #SocialConditionality sanctions
-More labour inspections
-Less Pesticides Use

Das Ausschlussverfahren der CDU gegen Maaßen zeigt: Friedrich Merz hat nur stilistisch etwas an ihm auszusetzen.

Seine politischen Ansichten selbst fügen sich sonst nahtlos in das, was Merz aus der Partei machen will.

[Nico Nettelmann @niconettelmann]

@_juliaschramm Auch wunderbar so eingeordnet von @nschniederjann im @jacobinmag_de Podcast. Es gab nie wirklich eine inhaltliche Distanzierung.

as well as the implementation of responsible trade agreements to hinder unfair competition from third countries. #justice #agriculture

[Nico Nettelmann @niconettelmann]

Social conditionality has enormous potential if well implemented. However, more is needed to address the systemic issues affecting the most vulnerable actors across the food chain, including a serious fight against #food speculation, countering the concentration of power,

[EFFAT @EFFAT_org]

The inclusion of #SocialConditionality in the new #CAP was a huge success.

Yet, the real victory for agri-workers in Europe would be the definition of a clear & effective sanctioning system, as required by the #EU.

More plant-based diets benefit health and climate. But how do they affect farmers? In a recent publication, we show that farm incomes in the EU could increase by 70% in the long run with dietary changes towards a planetary health diet.

Ich habe nächsten Monat auch einjähriges. Und "scheiße mühsam" trifft es ziemlich gut. Aber immerhin bin ich jetzt Experte in Sachen Herzfrequenzvariabilität und Spazierengehen. #longcovid

[Margarete Stokowski @marga_owski]

ich versuche jeden Tag bisschen zu arbeiten, bisschen bewegen und lesen zu üben (je 1 Stunde, also das ist das Ziel…) und das ist alles scheiße mühsam und klappt an vielen Tagen überhaupt nicht und ich will mir nicht vorstellen wie es wär wenn es noch schlimmer wird.

What a great and important session on just transition for agri-food. And another perfect example on which role #Geography can play in convening just transition processes.

Recently started to learn about Gayatri #Spivak (Can the subaltern speak?). Interesting thoughts on representation and voice of marginalised and oppressed groups. Also the aspect of diversity and complexity within those groups calls for a more nuanced approach of "giving voice".

New paper 🤓! #COP26 showed that two global corporate agendas are converging: food & climate. #COP27 intensified the process. I look at actors, rhetoric & decisions in #Glasgow to advocate for prompt convergence of anti-corporate agendas.

@gri_mm Yes please! Nicht sicher ob es sich lohnt darauf zu warten bis Wagenknecht ihre eigene startet und dann alles gut mit der alten Linken wird. Dafür liegt ja zu sehr auch abseits von ihr im argen.

[Nico Nettelmann @niconettelmann]

need to centre aspects like anti-colonial, anti-imperial, indigenous movements and build strong alliances. Also recognise the different geographies of the world and acknowledge different solutions for unique regions. But why not discussing all this in the context of "half earth"?

[Nico Nettelmann @niconettelmann]

2 more thoughts on this since it got some attention: I think we urgently need more utopian socialist thinking and half earth socialism as layed out by Troy Vettese is an interesting thought experiment but of course it's in the nature of utopias not all details are clarified, we
