Renewed magazine

Tuesday, 01 September 2009

Reading about small-scale agriculture is not only interesting to those directly involved with it. It is also good for exchanging ideas on alternative approaches to food production with all those concerned about our world's future.

To provide more people with more information, we are coming up with a renewed magazine. The last issue of this year will look very different and will mark the beginning of a new epoch... another inspiring 25 years, we hope!

Our magazine covers through the years!

In the renewed magazine, we will show more clearly how local experiences can have a large impact at a global level. We will link local practices to global discussions on agriculture, and provide more background information, news and debate. The experiences, needs and wants of small-scale farmers will be highlighted even more. We will become a truly global magazine in the sense that each issue will present local experiences from around the world.

To ensure that we will provide you with the right information, we ask you to tell us what changes you would like to see in the magazine. What do you like and dislike about the actual magazine? What kinds of information do you need? Send us your opinions, comments and suggestions! You can do so by regular mail to ILEIA Magazine, PO Box 2067, 3800 CB Amersfoort.
You can also send us an email or leave your message at our forum.
