Agroecology is our best option for creating a food and farming system capable of nurturing people, societies, and the planet. But it is still not widespread as it should be. Fertile Ground: Scaling Agroecology from the Ground Up, a new book edited by our Executive Director Steve Brescia and published by Food First, offers nine case studies authored by our partners and colleagues from Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, North America, and Europe. These cases, and the lessons that emerge from them, demonstrate how family farmers and their allies are deepening and spreading the practice of agroecology and integrating it into social movements and policy change.
