Episode Details

In this episode of The 3-Part Conversation on The Battle for African Agriculture Podcast with, Pat Mooney, we explore the deepening crisis in the global food system and the opportunities embedded within it, unpacking how corporate control of seeds and food systems continues to reshape agriculture, while also examining the future of agroecology, multilateral institutions, and Global South solidarity. The discussion reveals why food is ultimately about power and justice, and why agroecology must be understood not only as a science but also as a movement, with African actors holding more influence than is often recognized. It further reflects on corporate power and fragile global supply chains, the evolving role of UN food agencies, the importance of territorial food systems, and the need to connect food struggles with broader movements around climate, labor, health, and biodiversity, alongside the strategic role of African governments and civil society
