Peace with the Earth: Tracing Agricultural Memory, Reconfiguring Practice, Åsa Sonjasdotter

In 1940, Swedish suffragettes and peace activists Elisabeth Tamm and Elin Wägner published a pamphlet entitled ‘Peace with the Earth’ (Fred med Jorden). As artist Åsa Sonjasdotter writes, their
sharp analysis of industrial farming, which contests the increasingly absolute narratives of both landowners and sovereign states at the time, ‘predicted many of the issues that have become apparent today, including soil erosion, water scarcity, as well as food and stress related issues’.
