Mass Action Against the Animal Industrial Complex
07.08, 11:15–12:45 (Europe/Berlin), Zelt 17 Festzelt
Sprache: English

Industrial animal agriculture is one of the most ecologically destructive industries, emitting more greenhouse gases than the entire transport sector. Frequently targetted by animal rights activism, this industry is however seldom the focus of climate- or ecology-focused mass action movements. This workshop aims to provide a discussion space for exploring the possibility of targeting animal agriculture through disruptive mass action movements like Ende Gelande; a space for thinking the factory farm or the slaughterhouse in the same vein as the LNG terminal or the coal mine. We'll explore the value, challenges and possibilities for these kinds of actions as a group, creating a basis for their further development within the movement.

Myself and one other person will be facilitating this workshop - I am a PhD student in ecological economics at the University of Technology of Compiegne, in France, and the other facilitator is a Masters student in Human Ecology at Lund University.

Together we have backgrounds in food systems, animal studies, climate justice and political ecology.
