Cooperation, food sovereignty, and land justice
Agroecology Commons cultivates knowledge sharing, community action, and global solidarity for agroecological land stewardship, collective healing, and justice within the food movement.
“Agroecology is political; it requires us to challenge and transform structures of power in society. We need to put the control of seeds, biodiversity, land and territories, waters, knowledge, culture and the commons in the hands of the peoples who feed the world.”

What Participants Are Saying:
“BAFFT was a very unique learning experience. I appreciated being able to go outside conventional forms of education and training. I also felt moved by how language accessibility and justice were centered in the space to support Spanish speaking participants in accessing the program and education in real-time with the rest of the cohort.”

“This opportunity to be a paid farmer apprentice at the moment it came into my life was absolutely amazing. Having the chance to gain compensation to practice farming is really important for people who can't work and study at the same time.”

“I would definitely have to say the tractor work was a learning highlight during my apprenticeship. I have used a tractor before but it was intimidating and nerve-wracking understanding what tractor implements to use and how to attach them. So at the end when I felt like I had a great understanding and started to think wow if you added this one thing it would make the whole process go easier - that was a great learning”
