In this podcast, Emilie Jessen discusses the concept of agro-ecology and how the movement emerged and have evolved as a wide concept today. Starting with a discussion on why agro-ecology emerged as a counter response to The Green Revolution in the 1960’s and the dominant agro-food system, we discuss why the movement met resistance in the beginning, and how agro-ecological farming is different from conventional agri-cultural farming. The podcast then goes on to discuss how agro-ecology is strongly related to the concept of ‘spatial justice’, and how grassroot organizations such as the Irish farming group Talamh Beo are doing an important work fighting for food sovereignty and restoring local wildlife habitats. To finish, we discuss some of the challenges that the agroecological movement face today and thoughts on what could be done on a national or international level to support small scale farmers and the transition to a more sustainable and resilient global food system through transitioning to agro-ecological farming.
