Food Film & Discussion at De Volharding Sunday, November 29, 2026 Toxic Harvest Start: 16:00 | Paul Krugerkade 47, Haarlem A powerful documentary about environmental justice, the dark side of industrial agriculture, and hopeful agro-ecological alternatives. Afterward, there is a discussion with local food initiative leaders, and at 18:00 we join for a communal meal on a donation basis. Documentary & Debate Toxic Harvest This powerful documentary shows environmental justice and the dark side of industrial agriculture. At the same time, you also see hopeful agro-ecological alternatives. You see the impact of dangerous pesticides; with the situation in South Africa as an example. The creators show how agricultural toxins affect soil, water, air, and human health. Through compelling testimonies from farmworkers, it becomes clear that profit outweighs health. Global power relations play a major role: banned pesticides in Europe still go to countries in the Global South. Here, both people and the environment bear the consequences of an agricultural model that leaves strong colonial traces. Ideal for those who want to understand the link between agriculture, health, and global inequality.
