Introduction to RLG
Resisting, Learning, Growing is a research project which began in 2019. It looks at the UK agroecology and food sovereignty movement and asks questions like: how can we organise better as a movement? How can we scale agroecology and truly impact the food system? What are the things that stop us from being more effective as a movement?
In this podcast, my friend and fellow facilitator Um is going to ask me about the project, how it started, and how the last four years have evolved.
Farm Hack
What is Farm Hack? What do you need to know to run a farm hack event? Find out more about this popular education approach which combines an open source ethos with agroecology principles with this podcast and guide.
The farm hack guide and mini guide (below) were produced collaboratively by a group of farm hack organisers and academics. They can also be found on the farmhack.org (pdf), archive.org (pdf) and appropedia.org (wiki).
The podcast was produced to go alongside the guide using excerpts from some of the interviews carried out with farm hack organisers and participants as part of RLG.
