Episode 3: Life on Earth

Food systems and biodiversity are deeply intertwined. Agroecology is grounded in biodiversity, taking advantage of ecological processes and relationships to improve farm resilience and productivity. But the dominant industrial agriculture system works against biodiversity in ways that are harming human health, driving mass extinction, and threatening all of life on earth.  In episode three of Agroecology Uprooted, hear from Dr. Claire Kremen, Courtney Tchida, and Dr. Jonathan Lundgren on what's at stake under the industrial system, and how restoring biodiversity can have surprising benefits on the farm and beyond.  Photos, guest bios, and episode transcript on our website at https://www.iatp.org/agroecology-uprooted-episode-three.  Agroecology Uprooted is produced by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.
