This is an episode that features two German struggles for access to land: the ABL (Association of Peasant Farmers in Germany) and Ackersyndikat (Field Syndicate - a platform for collective farm ownership and operation). Part of an emergent movement for land rights and socialization, these two initiatives share many synergies: when it comes to fighting for socio-ecologically just farming practices, developing campaigns and new legal-technical models, generating alternative infrastructures and bottom-up representation, and pushing for cultural change through the commons. Tune in to listen to Anne (ABL) and Jost (Ackersyndikat), and follow their campaigns and work via the links below (links mostly in German, podcast in English!).
