Disco Soups of the World Unite on World Food Day!

October 11, 2013 ARC Latest from the ARC network

DAMn Food Waste, Disco Soupe, Feeding the 5000, Slow Food Youth Network and the Youth Food Movement Nederland are organising Disco Soups on World Food Day  – October 16th2013 – to celebrate solutions to food waste and at the same time highlight the scandal that over a third of the world’s food is thrown away. All the food served will be made from fresh fruits and vegetables that would otherwise have been wasted, all sourced from local farms and markets. People will come together to peel, cut and prepare the surplus fruits and vegetables… to music!

So, get your peeler ready and join in or set up a Disco Soup event in your home town to mark World Food Day on October 16th! More information at https://www.facebook.com/events/384184501685229/

Stop Food Speculation

October 30, 2013 ARC Recent updates

Swiss banks operating worldwide are involved in the speculation of staple food to a tune of 3,6 billion Swiss Francs. Among these banks, Credit Suisse is the single largest investor in staple food. It is unacceptable that a few investors get rich at the expense of countless poor people! Swiss NGOs Bread for All and the Lenten Fund have launched an online petition and campaign video requesting Brady Dougan, the CEO of Credit Suisse to divest his bank’s investments in stable food. Everybody can sign on! Change for better is possible. As a result of citizen pressure in countries such as Belgium, Germany or the UK, banks including Deutsche Deka Bank, the DZ Bank, and BNP in France have recently pulled out of making business with food speculation. Take a look at the one minute explosive campaign video at http://www.stopp-spekulation.ch/en/and consider endorsing the petition. Everybody, whatever your nationality or residence can sign on!
