    Marginalized communities: EP 9 Part 2 - The history of women in dutch agriculture

    This episode is the second part of our conversation with Margreet van der Burg about the history of women in dutch agriculture throughout the 20th century. Margreet is a historian who is specialized in gender studies related to agriculture, and she works as a teacher and researcher at the Wageningen university. In this episode we continue talking about the segregated agricultural education system, the low percentage of female-owned farms in the Netherlands and the present context of rural women. Disclaimer: we will be talking in quite a binary way, when discussing the differences between activities, norms and rights for men and women in the agricultural sector. As a non-binary person myself, I would like to add a few words here to acknowledge the fluidity of gender and the realities in the past and the present of genderqueer people on the farmland.

    Marginalized communities: EP 9 Part 1 - The history of women in dutch agriculture

    - International Women's Day Episode - This episode is the first part of our conversation with Margreet van der Burg about the history of women in dutch agriculture throughout the 20th century. Margreet is a historian who is specialized in gender studies related to agriculture, and she works as a teacher and researcher at the Wageningen university.   In this episode we dive into the segregated agricultural education system, the lack of, or the difficulty to find, female stories and perspectives in agricultural history and the feminist movement in the 20th century.

    Summer Edition: Permaculture, Community and Art in Portugal

    This summer, Jes, usually our editor, found himself at a special place in the midst of the old cork oak forests of Sintra in Portugal. In these forests, a permaculture design school resides. The school is called Terra Alta and was founded by Pedro Valdjiu. Jes got the chance to interview him, talking about his journey towards permaculture, his musical career, the role of art in permaculture and the importance of having a community supporting you. In the second part, Jes speaks with Jenny Ready. She is the co-host & teacher of Terra Alta and an artist, soon releasing her debut EP. Jenny explains how she got involved with Terra Alta, how she became a certified permaculture teacher and the influence permaculture has had on her life as an artist. Make sure to stick to the end to hear the stories of both our guests & enjoy the episode! [The recording of this episode wasn't planned beforehand, therefore the audio quality is not the best, our apologies for this. However we think that the lovely stories of our guests compensate for this.] Boerengroep: https://www.facebook.com/Boerengroepwageningen/?locale=nl_NL https://www.instagram.com/instaboerengroep/?hl=nl Terra Alta https://www.terralta.org/ Jenny ~ Jennifer Lourea https://www.instagram.com/jennifer.lourea/?hl=nl Pedro Valdjiu https://www.instagram.com/pedrovaldjiu/ Special thanks to Dave Zammit for helping with the audio and video: https://www.instagram.com/dave.zammit/
