This week the first European Forum on Food Sovereignty is taking place in Austria on 16-21 August. 

The participants are discussing developing and supporting small-scale farming. It is important, they argue, because of its environmental sustainability and role in the economic and social fabric of European rural areas. Meanwhile, the debates continue about the controversial Common Agricultural Policy that currently costs over 40% of the EU budget. 

This video by La Via Campesina movement highlights the main aims of the Food Sovereignty movement, such as establishing food a human right, providing access to land for small farmers and the indigenous peoples as well as ensuring freedom for populations to define their own food systems rather than being subject to the international market forces and the industrial specialized food production.

Hello there! Love you're initiative, I lesymf have become a bit of a blender junkie and have started construction on my own little narrative. Thought I might give you some constructive criticism if you're willing to hear it I saw your high quality render of ara's face and am very impressed with the detail you've been able to achieve. I wonder if you've ever heard of Scott Mcloud? Very influential writer on the subject of comics, anyhow, something i've learnt from him and those who succeed in creating a convincing model:When creating a character, one must be aware that the closer you try to get to realism the more your character will tend to look a little creepy. this usually has to do with the fact that people find it harder to relate to something so human-like yet obviously unreal and therefore abstraction helps us to get passed that. In your images of Ara (stunning as they might be) I feel an uncomfortable symmetry to her face and would recommend that you explore breaking it down a bit to create something more simple and relatable.Sintel convey's this perfectly, in sintel's face I get a fantastic sense of something which is expressive and surreal yet it gives the uncanny sense of realism. I think this makes the real difference between a character you merely believe and a character you actually like Keep up the enthusiasm!
