So long as there’s rice in our tables, who cares about the food crisis? That attitude will not be for long. It’s time to learn more about the food crisis and how it will affect you. This invitation came yesterday:
The continuing rice crisis, coupled with the non-stop increases in the prices of petroleum products, positioned the Filipino people in much serious difficulties.
The government’s piecemeal subsidies to families in need cannot solve the rural backwardness does not address the current rice crisis. We understand that an end to the crisis would necessitate a reversal of the economic programs and priorities of the government.
As such, it is necessary to explain to the largest number of students, professionals and advocates the envisioned programs, plans and strategies that will foster a solution to end the food problem in the country. In this regard, AGHAM, in cooperation with the alliance Resistance and Solidarity Against Agrochemical TNCs (RESIST Agrochem TNCs), will hold a forum entitled Rice Crisis, Modernization of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform on July 24 2008, 8:30 to 12:00 in the morning at the Conference Room of Balay Kalinaw in UP Diliman, Quezon City.
We cordially invite you and your office/organization to the said forum. Please refer to the attached program for your perusal. For further inquiries, kindly call us at 4343173.
