Food is about more than just the calories we need to survive. The expansion of corporate-controlled industrial agriculture has meant the loss of traditional knowledge, diverse genetic resources, and communities’ power to control their own food systems. 

In Episode Four of Agroecology Uprooted, hear from Ernesto Méndez, Sagari Ramdas, and Leticia López about why food sovereignty is central to agroecology, and how farmers and peasants around the world are working to rebuild power together.
