Hello,

 

We'd like to invite you to a meeting that is being organised in London on 27^th June, to bring together civil society groups working on land issues, including Europe's land overconsumption and land grabbing. Please find attached a draft agenda. The meeting is timed to coincide with a 3 day land and agriculture investment summit for private, government and world bank investors on 26-28^th June (see http://www.terrapinn.com/2012/agri/index.stm). A group of civil society groups is also having a separate discussion about planning a protest / action outside the summit – please also let me know if you're interested in being involved with that.

 

Friends of the Earth works on many aspects of land (including land grabbing, Europe's land overconsumption and land footprinting), and for a while we've been meaning to arrange a meeting to bring together a wide selection of civil society groups that work on all these issues, to provide an opportunity to share information, reveal potential synergies and hopefully form new alliances or collaborations.

 

The plan to hold an anti-land grabbing land action in London seemed like a good opportunity to go ahead with this meeting, with the hope that some relevant people would be in London for the stunt anyway. Different people are working on many different aspects of land. The aim of this meeting is to provide an opportunity to share information, reveal potential synergies and hopefully form new alliances or collaborations.

 

(NB Its not intended for this meeting to come out with a position statement).

 

I'll send more details shortly, but if you're interested in coming along please let me know, and save the date. Please note that although we have a budget to stage the event we don't have any travel budget for participants.

 

A draft agenda is attached.

 

Best regards,

Becky
