Financing agroecological transformations for territorial agri-food systems
Today’s industrial agri-food system has significant negative impacts on the environment and society, including biodiversity loss, freshwater pollution and consumption, and contributing nearly 40% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Agroecology offers an alternative paradigm for agriculture and food systems. Diverse agroecological practices seek to imitate the structure and function of natural ecosystems and build socio-ecological resilience at diffe…
A cog in the capitalist wheel
The Andhra Pradesh Zero Budget Natural Farming project was implemented by India's State of Andhra Pradesh in 2016 and renamed AP Community Managed Natural Farming (APCNF) in 2020. APCNF is recognised as a sucessful example of peasant-led agroecology by social movements, multilateral UN bodies, governments, and researchers. We offer more critical perspectives here, and argue that this agroecology model deepens inequality and dispossession. Despite…
Transforming food and agriculture
Transforming food and agriculture
Deux modèles de développement opposés cherchent aujourd'hui à transformer radicalement l'alimentation et l'agriculture. Le premier se concentre sur la modernisation et le maintien du capitalisme à travers la promotion de la 4e révolution industrielle (4RI) dans l'alimentation et l'agriculture. La deuxième voie de transformation met l'accent sur la souveraineté alimentaire et l'agroécologie. Cet article met en évidence certaines des principales co…
Critical Adult Education in Food Movements
This book focuses on new research on the importance of critical education for the spread of food sovereignty and agroecology.
Agroecology
Agroecology is an alternative paradigm for agriculture and food systems that is simultaneously: (a) the application of ecological principles to food and farming systems that emerge from specific socioecological and cultural contexts in place-based territories; and (b) a social and political process that centers the knowledge and agency of Indigenous peoples and peasants in determining agri-food system policy and practice. Historically, agroecolog…
Let the people decide
This paper describes and critically reflects on a participatory policy process which resulted in a government decision not to introduce genetically modified (GM) cotton in farmers’ fields in Mali (West Africa). In January 2006, 45 Malian farmers gathered in Sikasso to deliberate on GM cotton and the future of farming in Mali. As an invited policy space convened by the government of Sikasso region, this first-time farmers' jury was unique in West …
From Transition to Domains of Transformation
The acceleration of ecological crises has driven a growing body of thinking on sustainability transitions. Agroecology is being promoted as an approach that can address multiple crises in the food system while addressing climate change and contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. Beyond the more technical definition as, “the ecology of food systems”, agroecology has a fundamentally political dimension. It is based on an aspiration towar…
Introduction to the symposium on critical adult education in food movements
Transformative agroecology learning in Europe
Agroecology has been proposed as a key building block for food sovereignty. This article examines the meaning, practices and potentials of ‘transformative agroecology learning’ as a collective strategy for food system transformation. Our study is based on our qualitative and action research with the European Coordination of Via Campesina to develop the European Agroecology Knowledge Exchange Network (EAKEN). This network is linked to the global n…
Re-fashioning citizens' juries
A citizens’ jury (CJ) is, in essence, a forum designed to foster public deliberation and to influence decision-making on contentious issues. Over the past twenty years, the number of initiatives called CJs has increased. At the same time many CJs, by failing to foster effective dialogue and the co-production of knowledge, have tended towards being mere show-trials rather than robust processes of deliberative democracy. Here, we outline a fresh ap…
Crowdsourcing and action research. Fostering people’s participation in research through digital media
Agroecological Research
Agroecology has three practical forms—a scientific discipline, an agricultural practice, and a social movement. Their integration has provided a collective-action mode for contesting the dominant agro-food regime and creating alternatives, especially through a linkage with food sovereignty. At the same time, agroecology has been recently adopted by some actors who also promote conventional agriculture. Agroecology can play different roles—either …
Les savoirs paysans, une clé pour l'éradication de la faim et de la pauvreté
Linking farmers' movements for advocacy and practice

Prajateerpu, Power and Knowledge
We examine the roles of the diverse co-inquirers involved in the power-equalizing action research project known as Prajateerpu. While privileging neither official expertise nor experiential knowledge over the other, we suggest the need to create arenas where expert knowledge is put under public scrutiny as a means of contributing to a redressing of the power imbalance that exists between the poor and elite social groups. We emphasize the importan…
Prajateerpu, Power and Knowledge
Prajateerpu(translation: ‘people’s verdict’) has been devised as an exercise for allowing those people most affected by the ‘Vision 2020’ for food and farming in Andhra Pradesh (AP, India) to shape a vision of their own. We explore Prajateerpuas a case study in participatory action research that took place against a background of social, political and scientific controversy in which we were active participants. Having examined different methods i…
