Season 4: Episode 3 – Handpicked Presents: Voicing Change – “Agroecology in Canada and Brazil”
Featuring: Dr Andrew Spring, Dr Eve Nimmo, Dr Erin Nelson
In this episode of Handpicked: Stories from the Field, we present an episode of the Voicing Change Podcast called, ‘Agroecology in Canada and Brazil’ in which we hear from three researchers investigating what agroecology means and looks like on the ground. Dr Erin Nelson describes her own discovery of agroecology in Cuba and Ontario and how she realized that it’s about more than just a set of techniques but also about a change of mindset in how we use land and resources. Additionally, it calls for knowledge co-creation between the experiential knowledge of food producers and researchers- and using this knowledge to nourish social movements that can transform agrifood policy and practices. Dr Eve Nimmo describes the Indigenous knowledge roots of agroecology in Latin America and describes agroecology as a way to work with farmers growing food in traditional ways in Brazilian forests. Dr Andrew Spring links this to Indigenous stewardship in northern Canada. But does it produce enough food?
