Food sovereignty, agroecology, and biocultural diversity - Constructing and Contesting knowledge

A revolution paradigm was needed to establish the required knowledge systems to attain food sovereignty and agroecology. This concept entails the construction of technical and policy-related knowledge that is actively shaped by food producers and consumers, rather than through top-down research and the hegemony of scientism, the privatization of research, and commodification of knowledge. This final chapter proposes a two-dimensional approach to mechanize the transmission of knowledge, with interesting examples that can be improved: the strengthening of horizontal networks of grassroots self-managed research and innovation; and the fundamental transformation and democratization of the public.
