'Sovereign market,' first of its kind in Maine, opens in Stockholm

https://www.mainepublic.org/business-and-economy/2024-08-08/sovereign-market-first-of-its-kind-in-maine-opens-in-stockholm

Like many farmers markets, food producers and consumers gather for four hours on alternating Saturdays in Stockholm, a small community nestled between Caribou and Van Buren in northern Maine.

But unlike the others, the Stockholm Sovereign Market is unregulated. Aroostook County vendors sell baked goods, produce, dog treats, raw milk, maple syrup, eggs and herd shares — all of which is produced at home.

The market is the first of its kind in Maine and was made possible by a 2021 amendment to the 2017 Maine Food Sovereignty Act, a policy that has only been enacted in two states — Maine and Wyoming — codifying a "right to food" for residents.

Food giants are strangling Britain’s farmers and consumers. What’s the solution? Break them up

When #British farmers protested outside the Houses of Parliament earlier this year, they sent 49 scarecrows, after a survey had found that 49% of UK fruit and vegetable farmers said they expected to go bust within a year. The scarecrows stood in for real farmers, who are mostly too afraid to speak out.

One farmer told campaigners they had grown 60 tonnes of salad potatoes for a large UK supermarket, only for the supermarket to suddenly cancel the order, leaving the farmer “financially screwed”. The arbitrary power that supermarkets wield instils fear, which the supermarkets leverage to impose take-it-or-leave-it fees and other unfair conditions on farmers.

The problem is our monopolised food system.

Think of it as a vast profit machine shaped like an hourglass, with many food producers at the top, millions of consumers at the bottom, and a few dominant firms – such as giant supermarkets or global food traders – clustered at its narrowing neck, siphoning a cut from the passing traffic. This power ripples through global supply chains.

France’s farmers helped the far right win. Now they’re regretting it. – POLITICO

That proverb is gusting across the fields of France, as the country’s dumbfounded farmer unions begin to grasp the consequences of the far-right National Rally’s (RN) startling victory in the European election — and their potential victory in a snap national election.

You get what you wished for!

France’s farmers helped the far right win. Now they’re regretting it.

The National Rally’s success in the European election cost farmer unions’ centrist allies their seats in the European Parliament.

Lithuanian farmers complain about Russian, not Ukrainian grain

#Lithuanian #farmers said that it is the influx of Russian grain, not Ukrainian crops, that presents a problem for the EU markets, the Lithuanian National Radio (LRT) reported on March 5.

Their colleagues from Poland launched protests against Ukrainian agricultural imports and the EU's Green Deal earlier in February, blocking six border crossings with Ukraine.

Lithuanian farmers complain about Russian, not Ukrainian grain

"These are impressive figures, with over 3 million tons of Russian grain having passed through Latvia and Lithuania combined in 2023," said Ausrys Macijauskas, the head of the Lithuania Association of Grain Growers.
