A grassroots podcast by The Landworkers’ Alliance - a union of farmers, foresters, food and fibre workers across the UK
'Global Peasant Led Struggles: Puerto Rico' is the sixth episode of The Landworkers' Radio - a grassroots podcast brought to you by The Landworkers' Alliance. This series 'Climate Justice' explores how food sovereignty and agroecology offer key solutions to the climate crisis and contribute to the wider climate justice movement.
The word 'peasant' is usually thought to be synonymous with 'poor', 'unsophisticated' and 'ignorant'. But a movement of over 200 million peasant farmers and land workers around the world, united under La Via Campesina, are rising up to reclaim this word and harness the collective knowledge and power that they hold to build solidarity in their struggles and fight for a more harmonious, just and interconnected world. As a part of the COP26 People's Summit, the Landworkers' Alliance hosted a series of events on climate and land justice. This episode, is part 1 of a 5 part mini-series from the Global Peasant Led Struggles event that took place on 7th November 2021 and explores the impacts of the climate crisis in Puerto Rico and the UK, finding hope in Agroecology. Speakers are Marissa Réyés from Organización Boricua and Dee Woods from LWA.
