This episode is a live recording of a talk given by Gry Bossen, the political and campaign coordinator of Verdens Skove (Forests of the World). Gry teaches us about unsustainable soy production and how Denmark and Europe play a massive role in causing this socio-ecological disaster.

This episode is made as part of the Our Food Our Future initiative. The initiative, co-funded by the European Commission, is an international coalition of civil society organizations working towards changing the global food system to be sustainable and socially just. In Our Food Our Future Denmark, we try to bring issues of food justice to the forefront of public debate.

MELLEMFOLKELIGT SAMVIRKE AARHUS

We’ve got a lot going on in Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, Aarhus. We are a Danish NGO that works for a more just and sustainable world, collaborating with global partners worldwide as part of the ActionAid Alliance.

Here in Aarhus we have over a hundred volunteers working together to run a not-for-profit cafe and campaign and educate in areas ranging from feminism and climate justice to anti-discrimination and economic inequality to queer issues and refugee rights.

You can come down to Cafe Mellemfolk every day but Sunday for amazing food, drinks, and events in a cosy cafe run by our lovely volunteers.

You can also get involved with our events, activities, and campaigns, and even running the cafe, as a volunteer yourself.

So check out Instagram and Facebook to find out more about our cafe and our campaigns, by looking up Cafe Mellemfolk or Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, Aarhus or following the links in the episode notes.And check out Podbean, Youtube, and other podcast providers for more episodes, interviews, and cool stuff.
