New Day Cafe: the Agroecology Fund [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Via Mark Bittman’s weekly email, I recently learned about Agroecology Fund, which I think is pretty cool. From the Bittman email,

“Agroecology Fund applies its resources to the intersection of these movements, where farmers, eaters, scientists, journalists, policy-makers, activists, and environmentalists collaborate for grassroots-led change. Collaborations include strategies as diverse and complementary as researching soil health, creating agroecology schools and seed banks, offering new models of agricultural extension, passing local land and water use ordinances, and resisting barriers to agroecology, such as corporate control of seeds.

Agroecology Fund fortifies these multi-sectoral movements around the world to build power and transform the food system. This photo essay shares how grantee partners in Kenya are creating food sovereignty by strengthening community-led agroecological practices and solutions.

The above photo is of Samuel Maina, who uses Organic Agriculture Centre of Kenya (OACK)'s biofertilizer at his organic farm, which sits on a hill in Kiamakara Village, Muranga County. In the valley below, farmers produce Kenyan tea — one of the country's main exports — with chemical fertilizers.”
