Australia’s new peasantry and the rise of agroecology: biodiverse, decolonial and non-capitalist praxes on small-scale farms

Colonial capitalist agriculture has had devastating impacts on ecosystems and the lives of the human and more-than-human lives within them. Yet, the majority of the world’s food is still produced by small holders – mostly in the Majority World – and there is a small but growing movement of new peasants in Australia working to join them to feed the world with agroecology. They are part of the growing food sovereignty movement, which asserts radical economic, social and political critiques and transformations to achieve intergenerational justice and a world of radical sufficiency for all.
