With racism there is no agroecology | Cantos do Sabiá

João Lucas França – Radio host and communicator for the Sabiá Center.

Today’s Cantos do Sabiá is about November 20th, Black Awareness Day! A very important date to talk about blackness, resistance, history, and the strength that blackness has in our society.

But it’s also a date of denunciation. We need to fight and denounce the years of racism that have been structured in our society, and it’s important to politicize race, belonging and color!

And if we’re talking about agroecology, of course none of this can pass . After all, with racism, there is no agroecology! This is one of the fundamental mottos so that agroecology is not just a way of producing food, but a science, a practice, a movement – all in context with our society.

And it’s to talk about this very topical, very important issue that we spoke today with Elisabeth Cardoso – agroecological agronomist, master in agroecology, black, feminist, human rights defender. She is the head of the Social Participation and Diversity Department at the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Family Farming (MDA)!

Cantos do Sabiá is the Centro Sabiá’s Podcast! Weekly we discuss agroecology, sustainability and politics in the countryside and in the city! The podcast goes live every Monday, with the complete interview edition that originally made up the Center’s radio program. https://spoti.fi/31VtUj5
