Gerald Mutinda, a Kenyan who works with CeedCo and who KSB reported about earlier, will be the main speaker at a public function on October 3rd at ABF-Huset at Sveavägen 41 in Stockholm from 18.00. Mr. Mutinda will speak about the threat against small farmers around the world.
Multinational food companies like Wal Mart are spreading their wings around the world. What is the consequence for small scale farmers around the world? Mutinda’s speech will look closely at Kenya, a country seen in the West as one of the world’s poorest countries. Mutinda will address the question as to whether the expansion of multinational food companies is a threat to Kenya’s small scale farmers.
Mr. Björn Lindh, the Chief of Communication at “Cooperation Without Boarders”, will present a report entitled “Small Farmers Big Market”.
The function has been organized by ABF, Cooperation Without Boarders and Attac Stockholm.
