 Hi and welcome at the Landak online encounter. I am Jan-Willem Lieberand and I will be one of the speakers and leading one of the panels on farmer-led irrigation development in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this particular panel, we discussed the issue of farmer-led irrigation, urban agriculture in a number of African cities and we discussed how professionals respond to these bottom-up developments, which often take place in informality. This is important because a lot of these initiatives of farmers are not receiving recognition. In fact, they are often seen as bad, illegal, unsustainable, not efficient and so on and they are thereby neglected in policy making and in making investments in agriculture and irrigation. So the larger topic that we really discuss is food communication. You know, the bigger questions, how should we communicate about food? How do farmers themselves want to represent themselves? How do they challenge the dominant representations that we as experts, as engineers, agricultural experts, urban planners are making? How do we portray these people? Of course, we are also interested in initiatives of professionals to challenge the dominant representations. So are you one of these professionals that recognizes what farmers are doing in cities and in pretty urban areas and you want to help them? Then this is the right place to be and discuss your experiences in this online session on farmer-led irrigation development and food communication at the Landak Online Encounter. I really hope to see you there.
