Purpose
Agroecology Commons cultivates knowledge sharing, community action, and global solidarity for decolonized land stewardship, collective healing, and justice within the food movement.
Vision
Honoring that the foundation of agroecology comes from Indigenous and peasant land-based traditions, we envision a future in which food and farming systems are based on cooperation and sovereignty.
We see a cooperative process rooted in earth reverence, reciprocal relationships, and racial healing as key to this vision. We believe transformative leadership is BIPOC-led and centers Black, Indigenous, and Trans voices.
Core Commitments
Solidarity.
We are committed to collective liberation, racial justice, intersectional feminism, queer ecology, and rematriation in the formative struggle for land justice and food sovereignty.
Earth Reverence.
We believe respectful stewardship of the earth, rooted in cultural practices and traditional ecological knowledge, is fundamental to collective liberation.
Integrity.
We strive to embody integrity which to us includes accountability, honesty, humility, and self-awareness as individuals and as a collective.
Reciprocity.
We uphold mutual care, collective well-being, and interdependence through holistic wellness practices, horizontal farmer-to-farmer exchange, and popular education.
Racial Healing.
We are committed to dismantling white toxicity culture and amplifying Black, Indigenous, people of color, and peasant-led social movements to honor life, water, earth, and our interconnected wellbeing.
Cooperation.
We practice the Rochdale cooperative principles through our bylaws, operations, and farmer networks with voluntary membership, democratic governance, member participation, autonomy, network cooperation, and care for community.
