How do you conceive the place [[agroecology]] has in the construction of the [[movement]]s of [[struggle for land]]? What's the importance of [[agroecology]] as a way of opposing oneself to the [[green capitalism]] discourse?—a discourse which disguises an absolutely [[unsustainable]] logic
[[Agroecology]] is what allows [[movement]]s of [[struggle for land]] to exist. It's the [[agroecological knowledge]] what justifies the [[takeover]] of [[land]] from [[agribusiness]] so that [[healthy food]] (without [[pesticides]]) may be produced and [[environmental preservation]] [practiced]. Any serious [[struggle]] [[movement]] must have [[agroecology]] as its [[mode of production]] and also as a [[moral]] and [[organizational]] [[value]]. There's no [[agroecology]] without [[community]], without [[food sovereignty]], without [[preserving nature]] ([[flora]], [[fauna]], [[soil]], [[water]]).
In this sense, [[agroecology]] is in fact what helps [[man]] [[relink]] itself with [[nature]], going against the [[predatory]] logic of its use [nature] as a [[commodity]] and [[production resource]]. To conclude, [[agroecology]] is not an alternative to [[green capitalism]], it is an alternative to [[capitalism]] itself, [as capitalism represents] the [[destruction]] of [[humanity]].

- [[organic farming]], [[permaculture]], [[sustainable argriculture]]
- variety of crops, rotated
- instead of chemical fertilizers, a focus on manure and organic material from previous crops
- it embodies ecological principles which have been tested by [[evolution]]
- soil is actually alive: there are billions of organisms in every [[cm3]]
- [[diversification]] and [[intercropping]]
- [[agroforestry]]
- "[[agroecology]] (is/might be) able to raise agricultural productivity in ways that are economically viable, ecologically sound and socially uplifting"
- soil that is organically managed is a carbon store (as it's full of life)
- [[carbon sequestration]] in soil and plants is currently the only known and proven technology to draw down [[co2]] from the atmostphere and in the long run stabilize climate
