Land-grabbing in Hungary
Land for Local farmers?
State-owned land is being swallowed up in Hungary by corporations while farmers are prevented from creating a livelihood for themselves and their communities, delegates heard last week in Budapest. Green MEP Jose Bové attended the "Land for Local Famers" conference co-sponsored by Greens/EFA group and the Hungarian Greens, the LMP. There he spoke out about the importance of food sovereignty and the unfair treatment that Hungarian farmers face, from land acquisition to allocation of funds.
