With food systems and the planet in crisis, what would true resilient, sustainable, and just solutions look like? The answer may lie in a method called agroecology, a holistic approach to food, agriculture, nature, and social systems that’s already taking root around the globe. In this series from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, hear from farmers, scientists, food movement leaders, and other experts about what agroecology is, how it works, and why a transition to agroecology is needed now more than ever. This feed also includes IATP’s three previous podcast series: How to Fight a Factory Farm, The Farm Bill Uprooted, and Uprooted: Talking COP27.

    Episode 2: Growing Resilience

    Around the world, farmers adopting agroecological practices are rebuilding their soil, growing an abundance of food, and decreasing their reliance on external inputs. As war and political turmoil disrupt fertilizer and fuel supplies globally, agroecology is a way to build resilience in a destabilized world.    In episode two of Agroecology Uprooted, hear from Raj Patel on how the war in Iran is impacting global food systems, Sam Nderitu on teaching agroecology to smallholder farmers at the Grow Biointensive Agriculture Center of Kenya, and Jonathan Lundgren on connecting with farmers across America to research the real outcomes of agroecology and regenerative agriculture.

    Episode 1: System Failure

    As the war in Iran squeezes fertilizer and fuel supplies, there is renewed attention on the vulnerability of global food systems. But the roots of this current crisis go much deeper. In episode one of Agroecology Uprooted, we begin with a look at the systems that shape how we produce and access food, the ways that the industrial food system is pushing our planet beyond its natural boundaries, and the potential for a radically sustainable approach to food and agriculture: Agroecology.   This episode features interviews with Dr. Bonnie Keeler of the University of Minnesota and Pat Mooney, founder of ETC Group.   Agroecology Uprooted is produced by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.

    How to Fight a Factory Farm Episode 4: Cleaning up the CAFO Mess

    The rise of factory farms in the U.S. didn't happen by accident. Corporate influence over our political system has created policies that subsidize and incentivize the industrial model and allow factory farms to pollute with impunity, even creating new revenue streams that greenwash their climate impacts. Our food system does not have to be this way. Members of the Campaign for Family Farms and the Environment are working to build sustainable alternatives to factory farms while advocating for policy reforms to dismantle the CAFO system and level the playing field for independent family farmers. In the final episode of the series, hear from Frank James of Dakota Rural Action, Rebecca Wolf of Food and Water Watch, Bonnie Haugen of Land Stewardship Project and Noah Earle of Missouri Rural Crisis Center on how we got into this mess, and how to get out of it. How to Fight a Factory Farm is produced by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, a member of the Campaign for Family Farms and the Environment. Thank you to our intern, Anna Karns, for her assistance producing this series, and to Noah Earle for the use of his song “Fry an Egg” for our theme music.

    How to Fight a Factory Farm Episode 3: Communities Fight Back

    Despite the well-documented harms to the environment and rural economies, the CAFO system continues to expand. But its growth is not inevitable. In South Dakota, Iowa and all across factory farm country, everyday people are stepping up and organizing their neighbors to prevent factory farms from being built in their communities. How to fight a factory farm? People power. In this episode, hear from Vanessa Namken and Frank James of Dakota Rural Action and Barb Kalbach and Hugh Espey of Iowa CCI on how they successfully stopped CAFOs from being built near their homes.

    How to Fight a Factory Farm Episode 2: The Price We Pay

    What does it mean to get big or get out? As CAFOs began to take over livestock production in the U.S. through the 1990s, the consequences of this corporate-controlled, vertically-integrated system rippled throughout rural economies, putting smaller independent farmers and their suppliers out of business, and trapping others in debt and dependence on exploitative meat companies. In this episode, hear from Missouri Rural Crisis Center’s Rhonda Perry and Tim Gibbons and Iowa CCI’s Barb Kalbach and Hugh Espey on the price we pay for factory farms.

    How to Fight a Factory Farm Episode 1: Raising a Stink

    What is a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO), and what does it mean that nearly all farm animals in the U.S. are now raised in them? Factory farms are a major change from how livestock was traditionally raised, and the billions of gallons of manure produced by these facilities are causing major problems for neighbors, the environment and anyone downstream. Independent family farmers and rural communities are facing the brunt of these consequences, but they're not going to take it lying down.  In this episode, hear from Rebecca Wolf, Senior Food Policy Analyst at Food and Water Watch, along with Iowa CCI's Barb Kalbach and Dakota Rural Action's Kathy Tyler on the pollution crisis created by factory farms, and what it means for those living nearby. References and further reading The CAFO Next Door, REAMP Network, June 2024 Factory Farm Nation: 2024 Edition, Food and Water Watch Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry, Austin Frerick, 2024 US Factory Farming Estimates, Sentience Institute, 2019 Environmental Regulation of Hog Feeding Operations, Chen, C.-T. and G.
