We Need to Talk About Capitalism: Challenging Private Property, Labour Exploitation, and Endless Growth

Let’s discuss the elephant in the room during most discussions of agricultural transformation: the capitalist logics which shape how we currently grow, process, distribute, and eat food. Our panel will explore capital’s effects on farmers, the pressures it places on workers, and the ecological consequences of infinite growth on a finite planet. It will also feature the new union, Solidarity Across Land Trades (SALT), who will present their recent workers’ enquiry.We will open the discussion to the floor and hope for a lively discussion on struggles for a post-capitalist future.
