Ep6 · Rooted in Justice: Agroecology and the Road to Climate Justice

As we count down to COP30, let’s learn about the vital concept of agroecology—a science and practice that intertwines ecological principles with social justice to build sustainable food systems. In this episode, our guests share how agroecology offers a powerful alternative to industrial agriculture by promoting biodiversity, restoring soil health, and empowering local communities. Join us to learn how farmers, indigenous peoples, and youth grassroots movements are reclaiming agroecological practices and pushing for the policies that will pave the road to climate justice. 

Guests: 

Dr. Miguel Altieri (Agronomist and Entomologist)

Amishi Agrawal (Laudato Si’ Research Institute, Oxford University)
