Can social movements transform agriculture? In this episode of The Battle for African Agriculture, Million Belay sits down with renowned agroecologist Dr. Peter Rosset to explore how organized peasant movements in Cuba and across Latin America helped build one of the world's largest agroecology movements. Together, they examine why agroecology is more than a farming practice it is a science, a social movement, and a pathway to food sovereignty. Drawing on Cuba's remarkable transition during its food crisis, Peter shares powerful lessons on farmer-to-farmer learning, the limitations of industrial agriculture, and what Africa can learn from Latin America's experience in building resilient, people-centred food systems.
