Agroecology is so much more than a farming practice. It connects grassroots communities, farmers, researchers, workers and consumers in a global movement for food sovereignty and Farmers’ Rights.
The practical manifestations of agroecology around the world are as diverse as the landscapes, climates and cultures of each local place. In this growing series of short videos, Biowatch shares its work with smallholder farmers in communities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, towards developing a sustainable agroecological practice: household food security has increased; traditional seed varieties have been reintroduced and are increasingly being taken up by local communities; and land, water and other natural resources are cared for.
