Deep Agroecology: Farms, Food, and Our Future Podcast

This podcast mirrors my DeepAgroecology.net blog, and expresses the urgent call of the land as I and a host of other listeners hear it. I've been writing about the land, our farms, and our food since 1975. I’ve authored hundreds of articles, and 15 nonfiction books exploring themes related to the foundation of our lives. My Deep Agroecology podcast and blog explore positive creative responses to the call that we might have an abundance of clean food and heal the profoundly distressed environment in which we and our children dwell.

    Extreme factors set the stage for global farm and food summit - October 2021

    The United Nations global Food Systems Summit set for October 2021 will ultimately have a profound influence on our farms, our food, and the overall well being of our planet. As it stands now, multinational corporations are in the driver's seat. The farmers, food workers, and consumers of the world--civil society--are out of the circuit of true power. They fear corporate domination and greenwashing in a time when extreme global circumstances call for true, healthy, and just agroecology. Consequently, civil society organizations are boycotting the summit, and pursuing their own vision for farms and food--the vision of agroecology.
