IFOAM is patron of Rock for Nature

As a loud, clear and peaceful message of resistance against genetically modified plants and foods and the continued exploration of nature, and as a contribution to social peace and international dialogue, the producer association “Bäuerliche Erzeugergemeinschaft Schwäbisch Hall” invites to the “Rock for Nature” open air festival. The self-help group of more than 980 family farmers is supported in is endeavour by NatureLife International, Greenpeace and SlowFood as well as by Vandana Shiva and the Organization Family Farms.

With national and international top groups and solo artists, Rock for Nature wants to bring people together in a cheerful atmosphere, support them in their unity and in their resistance against the destruction of their natural resource base and encourage them to stand up for their future beyond the boundaries of countries and continents.

From August 22 to 24, 2008, in a 200,000 square meter organic wheat field near Schwäbisch Hall, the international festival will follow the footsteps of Woodstock. International known artists like Joe Cocker, the Scorpions, Wir sind Helden, Nena and Roger Hodgens are already confirmed. € 5 of every ticket sold goes to gene tech victims in India. Satellite transmission to and from India and the US will convey international unity against the disastrous dissemination of GM technology.
 
In the case of this event, the Bäuerliche Erzeugergemeinschaft Schwäbisch Hall is supported by Greenpeace, SlowFood Deutschland, IFOAM and Umweltstiftung NatureLife International. Details can be viewed here
