Next Encounter: Community-Led Agroecology

Following our successful May kickoff, we’re following up with another Solidarity Encounter in June! This time we’ll focus on agroecology:  a science, social movement, lifestyle, and system of food production grounded in justice, sustainability, and ancestral wisdom.

Solidarity Encounters are virtual, live, participatory forums for donors, prospective donors, and other members of our community. Through these spaces, we share about the work of Grassroots International and our frontline movement partners — their analyses, frameworks, visions, challenges, learnings, and transformative practices.
