In this video, Marlen Sanchez and Blanca Ruiz discuss the principles of agroecology and how it is being put into practice through the Rural Workers Association (ATC) in Nicaragua. How does agroecology challenge the colonialist assumptions of conventional farming not only in theory but also in practice? What is the Latin America Agroecology Institute (IALA) in Nicaragua and how is it involving young people? How are rights to land, access to water, the use of local seeds and food sovereignty integrated into IALA’s work? Why is fighting for political, economic and social justice so integral to agroecology?
