It was a wonderful experience to be part of the X Congreso Internacional de Agroecologia, Agroecologias do mundo: unidas para enfrentar as crises globais, in Viseu, Portugal.🇵🇹 Connecting with the global #agroecology community of activists, #farmers, organisers, #researchers, teachers, and civil servants, there is so much motivation to empower social movements and change public policies to promote ecological agricultural production. It is time to scale agroecological experiences: 🍅 Politicise consumption 🛤 Halt the accumulation of capital by corporations, speculations, and #landgrabbing ⛏ Share technology, tools, machinery, and knowledge for the #commons 💸 Tax industrial products 👩🌾 Strengthen the #autonomy of small and family farms 🏞 Focus on access and protection to #land 🏛 Implement public policies that ensure the rentability of small-scale production 🎓 Attract #youth back to #rural areas by accessible #education, credit, and land 🌱 Pass on agricultural and ecological knowledge to #young generations to preserve connections to the territories and thus #identify and #culture For that, us as the movement need to better organise and communicate: plan, prioritise, and strategise to mainstream an alternative #foodsystem model that rests on 🐓 Healthy #food 🐑 Small-scale production 👨🌾 The #dignity and wellbeing of growers 🌾Indigenous #seeds and varieties of plants and animals 🌎 Let’s build the world we want to live in! 🌐 La red global ayuda a la lucha local. Join in: https://lnkd.in/ef-NvSBj Thank you for the great organisation to the Instituto Politécnico de Viseu, especially Inês Costa Pereira, and to the invitation to Carla Sarrouy Kay, Oxford Real Farming Conference/Real Farming Trust.
