What Does an Anti-Fascist Farming Movement Look Like?
Sophia and Alex organised and were part of a panel session at the 2025 Oxford Real Farming Conference titled ‘What does an Anti-Fascist Farming Movement Look Like?’. Also on the panel were Sagari Ramdas and Tom Wakeford.
The panel responded to the recent wave of farming protests that have swept parts of Europe, and which have shown clearly how the discontents of a segment of farmers are increasingly expressed through a reactionary, right-wing rhetoric. At the same time, both white supremacist violence against migrant, racialised, and Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, and state repression against popular protest, dissent and solidarity are escalating. The panel sought to ask how those of us who want to develop an alternative to the imperialist, exploitative food system can ensure that our movements remain clearly aligned against reactionary, nationalist and eco-fascist tendencies. In other words, what does a progressive, left-wing, explicitly anti-fascist farming politics look like?
