Food, Farming & The Future, advert for public meeting – 25th May 2025

Join us for an inspiring meeting learning from people involved in positive and practical projects around food and farming locally. We’ll explore people’s concerns about corporate control of the food system, the future of farming, and how concerns about food and farming are being hijacked to recruit people to harmful ideas.

Sunday 25th May, 4-6pm, Trinity Rooms, Field Road, Stroud GL5 2HZ

Who is hijacking fears about food and farming?

Our Free Town sounds nice… it’s all about self-sufficiency, and creating “a cultural community in Stroud – a sense of well-being, togetherness, kindness and giving”. What’s not to like?

It turns out to be the group of contrarians that distribute “The Light” paper in Stroud, operating yet another front group to recruit people into conspiracy beliefs and tolerance of far-right ideas, individuals and organisations.
