“My message to policy-makers is this – Stop listening to agri-business, stop listening to the pesticide and herbicide manufacturers. Start listening to your citizens and support small-scale agroecological production” – Fergal Anderson.

Fergal is a small scale organic farmer based in Loughrea, Galway. He’s been involved in Le Via Campesina, Food Sovereignty Ireland and recently established a new grassroots farmers and growers organisation called Talamh Beo.
