Growing change at the intersection of art and agroecology
Abstract
First paragraph: 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. . . .
