African Perspectives on Agroecology

In this episode of the IDS Between the Lines podcast, Dominic Glover (IDS Research Fellow) interviews Professor Rachel Wynberg (University of Cape Town) about her new book: African Perspectives on Agroecology: Why farmer-led seed and knowledge systems matter. In the podcast they discuss the critical voices of African farmers, activists, scientists, scholars, and policymakers whose viewpoints combine to articulate a shared and dynamic vision of a world where agriculture is productive, diverse, and sustainable; where different ways of seeing and knowing are respected; and where seed and food systems are in the hands of farmers and local communities.


This podcast is a must-listen to students, policymakers and researchers interested in local-led expertise on Agroecology and farming systems.
