Agroecology Principles, Practices, & Politics with Modern Pioneer Miguel Altieri

Hope you’re wearing your PPE for this one! Mimi Casteel of Hope Well Wine is speaking with Miguel Altieri, one of the modern pioneers of agroecology. He has written more than 330 publications, including a book: Agroecology, the Science of Sustainable Agriculture & Biodiversity… Miguel is a hero to many of us who have practiced in the field and his bio is very extensive. In addition to being a professor emeritus at UC Berkley, he also served as a scientific advisor to the Latin American Consortium on Agroecology and Development and general coordinator to the United Nations Development Program in Sustainable Agriculture, Networking, & Extension. He’s worked in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and is now farming in Columbia.

This is an excellent episode. It’s critical to address the social aspects of food production, and talk about the differences with all these systems and philosophies around farming.

A great discussion, even given the terrible nature of that discussion.
