Farmers at the Agro Romano Farmers Market, on Saturday, February 29 at 11.00, organize the human symbol of Nonviolence in Largo Raffaele Pettazzoni to host the World March for Peace and Nonviolence in Rome exactly at Tor Pignattara.
The farmers will involve the people who will come to do the shopping to prepare to carry out the human symbol along with the children attending Sangalli Park.
All accompanied by improvised jazz music and games for children and adults.
The event will be recorded with a drone.
This Market, with active nonviolence practice, responds to economic violence
The Farmers Market was born to give, with the practice of active nonviolence, a blunt response to what is the economic violence suffered by small farms by the current economic system of looting.
It was created by the Future Humanist Association, which later became an association of farmers, as a concrete instrument to curb economic violence that is increasingly undermining the important human values of our daily lives.
For this reason, at the base of each farmers market there are three objectives:
1) Create jobs by giving small farms fair opportunities to sell their products directly.
2) Give people the opportunity to buy quality, healthy products at a good price.
3) Assign part of the market revenue to the self-development projects that the Futura association carries out in Africa.
Create spaces and times of healthy living
Another aspect that brings the farmers market closer to the March is its temperament to create spaces and times of healthy coexistence, of cultural exchanges, where buying is not only an alienating act, but a time recovered from peace, pleasure, beauty, sociality of human relationships.
"We could not do anything other than join the March," says Laura, who has a farm near Rome, "thanks to our participation in farmers' markets we can continue our non-violent struggle for a fairer redistribution of agricultural wealth."
