Based on the video Together we can cool the planet! [1] co-produced by La Vía Campesina and GRAIN in 2015, we have created a comic book [2] to support training activities of social movements and civil society organisations around climate change. This comic book looks at how the industrial food system impacts our climate and also explains what we can do to change course and start cooling the planet.
La Via Campesina and GRAIN have pointed out that the industrial food system is responsible for half of all greenhouse gas emissions. In the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa, we have been denouncing the false solutions to climate change such as GMOs, the "green economy" and "climate-smart agriculture".
We say loud and clear: it is peasants and small farmers, along with consumers who choose agroecological products from local markets, who hold the solution to the climate crisis.
We must all rise to the challenge! Click here to download the comic book in pdf format. [2]
