08ll-5202 - Symposium 20 jaar ontwikkelingssamenwerking LLTB
The LLTB is a local division of the Dutch Federation of Agriculture and Horticulture LTO in the province of Limburg. They defend the interest of their 3500 members. In a committee "Agriculture and development cooperation", the LLTB decided 20 years ago to start supporting initiatives on development cooperation. To celebrate this 20th anniversary, the LLTB organises a symposium on Friday 3rd of October 2008 with a central focus on “Voedsel voor iedereen én globalisering? (food for everyone ánd globalisation?). At the same time a number of foreign guests are invited to participate in an exchange week in which visits to their arable farming and horticulture colleagues in Limburg are planned. The overall goal is to help southern farmers to become more independent and to develop their own initiatives.
