The seventh edition of the Food Autonomy Festival (FAF) is taking place this upcoming June. The FAF is a three-day gathering that aims to create an open and accessible space for collectives, organizations, farmers, artists, young academics, and others who fight for social and ecological justice. A place where we exchange perspectives, ideas, knowledge and skills about topics related to food and social justice; a moment to create new relationships and strengthen existing ones.

Above all, the FAF has been a place to visibilize, connect and celebrate alternatives and resistances to the corporate-controlled industrial food system. A site of resistance, solidarity, and autonomy, where we challenge racism, sexism, coloniality, and oppression in all its forms.

Like every year, celebration is at the heart of FAF! This year however, it will aim to be a movement's coalition building process. We want to use this gathering to bridge the gap between the agroecology, climate justice and anti-gas movements. By focusing on the dependency of the industrial food system on the fossil fuel industry, we hope to combine our struggles and build more powerful coalitions.

We need to simultanously take down the fossil fuel industry and the agro-industry in order to achieve the much-needed agricultural and societal change! 

On the 9th, 10th, and 11th of June we will come together in Amsterdam op Het Groene Veld o explore alternatives for a viable, just, sustainable, and fossil-free agricultural system and world. Through open discussions, workshops, hands-on farming activities and cultural events we aim to find common ground where movements fighting for social, climate and agricultural justice can meet.

The festival will be structured around four main themes::

- Resisting a Fossil-fueled and Oppressive (Food) System
- Strategies to Build and Connect Movements
- Regenerative Culture
- Food Autonomy through Practices / Agroecology in practice

Compost agribussiness! Compost the fossil industry! Fossil Free Agriculture now!
