Small Farmers Excluded from FAO Meeting

The FAO meeting is underway in Rome.

Jeremy of Agricultural Biodiversity is there, and I hope we hear something from him when he has time.

La Via Campesina is there, the international peasant farmer movement, and has already published pictures of farmers wishing to express their own view of the situation being forcibly expelled from the event.

You can download this and other videos and watch them directly on your computer.

It doesn’t look very promising so far, a lot like recent G8 meetings.
