Honored to discuss my new book (Decolonizing African Agriculture: Food Security, Agroecology and the Need for Radical Transformation) in this AFSA podcast episode with Dr. Million Belay youtu.be/J0lL6LOEzRM?...

Dan Trudeau, myself & co-authors of "Gleanings from the Field" are running 2 virtual gatherings for the Seed Coalition: 1) Food Studies in Higher Ed 9/28, 12-1pm CST & 2) Collaborations/Partnerships in Food-Based Community Engagement 11/6, 12-1pm CST.

This is just flat out wrong. While the Trump Administration is taking steps to hind information about food insecurity in America, ignorance is not an excuse for inaction. People have a fundamental #RightToFood

Looking forward to Maano Ramutsindela's new book on the "Political Ecology of African Peace Parks" www.routledge.com/Political-Ec...

Imagine persuading 5% of students who took the #AP Human Geography exam to major in geography? To thrive, #geography needs to grow its base of undergraduate majors. @williamgmoseley.bsky.social shares a recipe for the discipline to contribute to a better understanding of the world. buff.ly/3Mx5R8m

It's embarrassing when your president weighs in on foreign policy issues he knows nothing about, seeing them through his own lens of white nationalist politics/fears. The Afrikaners are not the victims - they oppressed/brutalized the black majority population for decades www.bbc.com/news/article...

Everyone who watches the video of Trump’s appalling and meretricious attack on Ramaphosa should also watch last week’s brilliant video by @ruthhallplaas.bsky.social‬, a South African agrarian scholar who demolishes the “white genocide” narrative. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...
