The Landworkers Alliance, along with the help of Georgie Styles and Frontline Foodcast bring you our COP podcasts.  These podcasts look at how food sovereignty and agroecology offer key solutions to the climate crisis and contribute importantly to the wider climate justice movement.

Mobilise! is the first of our podcasts and starts by looking at how farmers, growers, foresters and landworkers come together to bring solutions to the climate crisis from the grassroots.  Dee Butterly, from Southern Roots Organics and Landworkers' Alliance Programmes and Engagement Coordinator, speaks with Jesús Vázquez from Organizacion Boricua in Puerto Rico.  Together they share how farmers are experiencing climate change in their regions, how they organise collectively to work in solidarity to respond to extreme weather events and support resilient agroecological farming and land use systems that positively address climate and biodiversity crises.  And, importantly, they share how groups they're organising with mobilise politically to resist corporate systems that undermine the lives and livelihoods of their members.

Mobilise! is a call to action ahead of COP26.  It is an invitation and a welcoming to anyone who wants to help strengthen our articulation of food sovereignty, agroecology and climate justice at COP26.  To find out more about how you can get involved please visit https://landworkersalliance.org.uk/cop26/

It is the first in our podcast series, with more coming forward on seed sovereignty, distinguishing between intensive factory farmed animal agriculture and animal agriculture in the context of agroecology, and much much more.
