In this podcast, Jesús Vázquez, General Coordinator of Organización Boricuá de Agricultura Ecológica and a member of La Via Campesina in Puerto Rico, emphasized on the IFAD's Foods-Farms-Future podcast that agroecology is more than just farming practices—it's a social movement, a science, and a way of life.

He highlighted how Boricuá involves small farms working together to feed people and promote food sovereignty. Agroecology, according to La Via Campesina, empowers peasants by giving them control over their production. Vázquez also discussed how diversified farming practices enhance community resilience, improve soil health, and combat climate change.
