Episode 1: System Failure

As the war in Iran squeezes fertilizer and fuel supplies, there is renewed attention on the vulnerability of global food systems. But the roots of this current crisis go much deeper. In episode one of Agroecology Uprooted, we discuss systems thinking, planetary boundaries, and who really feeds the world. Hear from the University of Minnesota's Dr. Bonnie Keeler and ETC Group founder Pat Mooney about the failures of the industrial food system, the resilience of the global peasant food web, and the potential of a radically sustainable approach to food and agriculture called Agroecology.
