How do farmers get a fair income? In this episode we will dive into this important topic together with Elske Hageraats.
Elske worked as a farmer for many years and experienced struggles with earning a fair income. She started doing research and ended up writing a book called Eerlijk Loon, which means Fair Wage. She introduced a different kind of payment method called Solidarity Payment, which focuses on a fair wage for the farmer and which creates a relationship between the producer and the consumer. In this episode she will tell us all about it! At the end of the conversation, we also talk about her course “Agroecology in Practice”, a program that teaches you the practical knowledge and skills to, after one year, start your own agroecological farm. If this interests you, make sure you stay until the end. Tune into the episode and start listening to Elske her wisdom!
