Growing change at the intersection of art and agroecology

Agroecology in the U.S., as commonly insti­tutionalized, remains firmly rooted in its techno-scientific approaches centered on quanti­tative biophysical data and natural science research methodologies that flatten the richness of its rela­tionality, land-based practices, and social move­ments. The crucial role of art and popu­lar forms of artistic expression are often undervalued within the walls of academia and higher-education institu­tions, while elsewhere, it embodies the steady pulse of anti-colonial resistance and the daily pursuit of life-affirming practices. . . .
