An Introduction to Agroecology by Miguel Altieri

Dave Chapman interviewed Miguel Altieri on the Real Organic Podcast, which has some high quality content regarding organic agriculture. For anyone new to the concept, Altieri has spent most of his life committed to studying and promoting agroecology, which is both a practical science and a social movement. For anybody looking to radically change our food system, this is the model to research further. In contrast, Permaculture has co-opted the science of diverse plantings, but stripped the political element in favor of an easily commercialized philosophy that fits into a capitalist society full of social media platforms. Listen to what Altieri has to say, do some research, and form your own opinions. Enjoy!
