Agroecology, Biodiversity and Peasants' Seeds | Nyéléni Newsletters | Publications

Agroecology at a crossroads

14 December 201619 July 2024

The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online!

Agroecology has become a territory in dispute.

While mainstream institutions and corporations for years have marginalized and ridiculed agroecology, today they are trying to capture it. They want to take what is useful to them – the technical part – and use it to fine tune industrial agriculture, while conforming to the monoculture model and to the dominance of capital and corporations in structures of power.

Social movements, on the other hand, use agroecology to challenge existing power structures, to resist the multiple attacks on our Mother Earth, and as a tool for the social, economic, cultural, political and ecological transformation of communities and territories. 

Their agroecology is merely technical, our agroecology is political.
