The Living Classroom film series is the cumulative result of GardenAfrica’s work since 2001, alongside agroecology specialists and training organizations in sub-Saharan Africa. The series focuses on agroecological practice, which informs and is informed by its science - mimicking natural patterns and processes to restore degraded landscapes and promote the movement towards a resilient, resource-conserving, and biologically diverse farming future.

The films encourage local training organizations transitioning to agroecology to take a more participatory approach to co-learning and experimentation. For this reason, each film comes with embedded pause-points to allow space for farmer-to-farmer discussion and ideas sharing about different techniques and locally available resources.
