Labore Bilbao: citizenship also towards food sovereignty

  • A couple of years ago several neighbours in the Bilbao area concerned about food decided to meet in Bilbao. Following a debate and reflection, the Labore partnership was established in autumn 2016 and in collaboration with GITE-IPES in Bilbao the “Zer jan” programme was organised. And how to buy?” he presented himself on the day.

Association of consumption in the form of trade

Small and large experiences such as those already under way have been taken as a reference to develop the Labore project in Bilbao: Labore de Oarsoaldea or Planta de la Comarca de Pamplona with a long history, among others. In Bilbao, a shop for partners will also open in autumn.

Among the purposes of the association are to offer local products, to move from a food business to a service, to facilitate direct sale, to offer quality ecological products, to be the engine of the project citizenship, to build another society or the defense of mother earth.

“We will organize the activity of Labore Bilbao in three pillars: local, agroecological and social. In some products one criterion can be preferred, in the next one can be boosted the other”, points out the hand sheet presented by the project.

Backbone of the project

The partners make the decisions in the Labore Bilbao association and want to build the space they are going to open together. Broadly and democratically agree on the location of the store, the supply of products, its functioning and standards.

Just as consumers are entitled to buy quality products at affordable prices, the association calls for decent prices for farmers. “We believe in the alliance between producers and consumers. Avoiding intermediaries and other interests involved.”

Anyone who wants to get details about the project or become a partner laborebilbo.eus will find all the necessary information on the website.
