The Battle for African Agriculture—new podcast
The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) has launched a new podcast that reveals the enduring legacies of colonialism in Africa’s food systems, challenges corporate-driven narratives, and shares agroecological solutions rooted in justice, biodiversity and Food Sovereignty.
The Battle for African Agriculture is hosted by AFSA General Coordinator Dr Million Belay. Each episode features crucial conversations with some of the world’s most insightful scientists, civil society leaders and activists working at the intersection of food systems, power and ecology.
“I dream of an Africa where our food systems reflect the diversity of our cultures, our ecologies and our indigenous knowledge,” said Dr Belay. “We are in the middle of a war over narratives: Who defines what good agriculture is? Who gets to decide the future of our food? I started this podcast to challenge the colonial mindset that still shapes our food systems and to elevate the voices of those building something better—an agriculture of dignity, of ecology, of African knowledge.”
