OtherWise and Boerengroep proudly present grassroots science lecture series:

“Socially driven” initiatives, by for example farmers, consumers, civil society organisations, sometimes in collaboration with scientists, constantly emerge in the face of ­poverty, social injustice, hunger, natural resource degradation, environmental decline and other global problems. Some of these initiatives contain practices that promise more sustainable livelihoods for the people on the ground while simultaneously tackling global problems. Many initiatives stand in stark contrast and sometimes even contradict with the “technologically driven” solutions implemented by many scientists and policy makers. Representatives from a selection of these types of initiatives will present their achievements, their views on how these can contribute to positive social change.

All lectures will be held in the Forum building (Droevendaalsesteeg 2 Wageningen)
