Land Grabs Workshop

Land Grabs video
If you're one of the 50 delegates booked on my Land Grabs workshop this Friday at the GA Conference, you might find it interesting to watch this video to set the scene...
And if you aren't... why ever not ?
Hungry for more..
Spent some time yesterday thinking about a session I'm doing at the GA Conference on food, particularly on LAND GRABS.
There's also a range of other food links that I've come across in the last few days, and of course food has continued to be in the headlines.
The WEFEEDBACK website has a calculator which will tell you how many children your food choice could potentially feed.
The cost of one Pizza Express Margherita pizza would also feed 20 children...
There's also a range of additional food related stories, including the suggestion that food inflation is faster in the UK than in other EU countries....
Also great news earlier today when I got in touch with John McLaverty of OXFAM UK who is going to be the meat to my two veg (or something like that...) at the GA conference. He's fresh back from a month in Sierra Leone, which we might persuade him to talk about, and also had news of a great new project which Oxfam are launching later in the year on the theme of food.
Come along to our workshop at the GA conference on the 15th of April, and you'll see the latest food related ideas for curriculum and pedagogy... It's going to be tasty...

Get off my land !
Heard yesterday that my proposal for a workshop at the GA Conference in April 2011 has been accepted by the conference planning board.
It's good news, as the planned workshop will be the third in a trilogy on the theme of food (unless it turns into a quadrilogy...)

The focus this time round is on LAND GRABS.
I'll be co-presenting with John McLaverty from OXFAM GB once again.
I mentioned this Guardian article by John Vidal from March 2010 earlier in the year, with reference to our 2010 Conference workshop.
There's not a lot of web based material in this area at the moment it seems...
Also had some impressive web statistics for the FOOD CPD unit that I wrote for the GA website.
The Geography of Food - this has now been visited over 2000 times since it was added to the website in January 2010.
