Why is agroecology the solution to hunger and food security?
Miguel talks about the problems of the dominant, industrial-chemical agricultural system and the importance of small scale, agroecological farming as an alternative to meet the needs of food security and protect the environment.
It is a holistic method of farming that is sustainable (i.e. does not rely on chemicals and fossil fuels, cycles waste and promotes diversity), as well as affordable, enabling farmers to become more independent, improving their livelihoods while also building resilience to climate change.
