Planet Diversity 04 - Farida Akhter 2

Planet Diversity calls upon the friends and guardians of diversity on this planet to join them in celebrating the natural and cultural diversity of life in food and agriculture. For five days, during the negotiations of the UN-Convention on Biodiversity, they discussed how farmers, consumers, food producers and their communities can cooperate. A global movement from different directions came together for the common cause of defending diversity against destructive and threatening tendencies in agriculture, rural development and food production.

On May 12th representatives from more than 190 countries around the world were guests in Germany, negotiating about species extinction and genetic engineering, the control of seeds, over protected areas and agricultural diversity. To show the representatives what diversity means, this demonstration took place.
