Agriculture as a Weapon of Domination
Posted November 7, 2021 CT
Scheduled for November 7, 2021 12:00 amCT
The webinar will begin with Wes Jackson explaining the 10,000-year-old
problem of agriculture: cultivation of annual grain crops which compromise
soil ecosystems and organic matter. Perennial grain crops and cropping
systems can make food-producing ecosystems as resilient as natural
ecosystems. Asa Anpu will cover what colonialism means to the colonized,
especially with regards to food deserts imposed by settler “farmers” on
Black people within South Africa and how the Uhuru Movement is
challenging this. Nely Rodriguez will share how a small group of
farmworkers joined with the Fair Food Program to completely change
conditions of their labor, from eliminating wage theft to modern-day slavery.
US allies can support farmworker rights through the Boycott of Wendy's.
Jaideep Hardikar will address problems facing small and marginal farmers
who comprise 83% of India farm households, commercialization of the
countryside due to steady withdrawal of state support, and the growing
network of people's collectives and agro-ecological approaches.
Hear from:
• Wes Jackson, The Land Institute.
• Asa Anpu, AAPDEP South Africa Director
• Nely Rodriguez, Coalition of Immokalee Workers
• Jaideep Hardikar, People's Archive of Rural India
