Benefit supporting the community farm Pluk!

Benefit supporting the community farm Pluk! and discussions about food sovereignty and the politics behind food

On the 26th of May, we are organizing a Voku in support of the community farm Pluk!, which is a small organic self-harvesting CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) growing a variety of vegetables, herbs, and flowers in Amsterdam Nieuw West. The project aims to cultivate a more sustainable alternative to industrial food systems. Its members pay an annual fee and come directly to the farm to harvest their vegetables, cutting all intermediaries and shortening the supply chain. Pluk! is conceived as a shared, community-based project, rooted in solidarity economies and care towards soil and biodiversity. We will cook a vegan dinner using the seasonal vegetables from the farm as main ingredients.After eating together, we will gather and share a discussion about the topics of food sovereignty and the politics of food. A group of young people who gathered on the farm will present artistic performances that were born from a day of sharing on the land.

The event is organized by Bad For The Egosystem, a collective that focuses on the arts and ways to mediate our curiosity through different modes of expression. They aim to transcend the boundaries between people, different social settings, and formalities that reproduce distinctions rather than fruitful frictions.
