SPECIAL FOOD ISSUE OF THE INDYPENDENT

For two years running, The Indypendent has won more awards for outstanding reporting from the New York Independent Press Association than any other paper. We are soliciting articles around the themes of problems of the global food production network and locally based alternatives.

Articles can be in the form of reporting, opinion pieces, interviews, features, first person, historical, anthropological, sociological, reviews, etc.

Topics can include, but are not limited to:

*Distribution networks, from global monopolies to producer-based cooperatives

*The costs and effects of monoculture farming on the environment and society

*Different models for sustainable agriculture—permaculture, biodynamic, organic, etc. We’re especially looking for interviews with small-scale farmers, comparing and contrasting different systems and feasibility.

*How people eat, how different cultures approach food preparation and consumption

*Profiles and/or analysis of different sectors of food workers, particularly migrant/immigrant labor

*Government and agribusiness, how public resources are used to fund large-scale, private business

*Women’s role in agriculture

*Food coops, looking at different types, possibilities and problems

*Fair trade agriculture products

*Anything related to genetically modified organisms

*Food diversity, seed banks

*Food and health issues

*Energy usage and food production

*Distribution challenges for small producers

*Reviews of books, movies, magazines about food

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Impliquez-vous !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
