We hope you’ll check out this piece by our long term collaborator and friend of SFHC, Raj Patel, in Scientific American. Raj uses SFHC as a case study to write about agroecology’s potential as a radical vision for a new world: an opportunity to fight hunger and inequality, by shifting power from big agribusiness into the hands of real, small-scale farmers. It’s a detailed, hopeful story!
