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.
Our food system was built on the dispossession of land and exploitation of labor, and today, structural barriers still prevent many farmers from owning land, accessing credit, and entering markets. We are committed to the ongoing struggle for land justice and food sovereignty, with a deep commitment to collective liberation, racial justice, intersectional feminism, queer ecology, and rematriation.
Earth Reverence.
We believe respectful stewardship is guided by agroecological practices, rooted in traditional ecological knowledge, and is fundamental to collective liberation.
Integrity.
We strive to embody integrity in all that we do — through honesty, humility, self-awareness, and accountability. As individuals and as a collective, we commit to showing up with intention and awareness in all we do.
Cooperation.
We embody our values through cooperative governance, through shared ownership, democratic decision-making, and care for our communities.
Wellness.
We prioritize wellness,mutual aid, and collective well-being, from farmers to staff to community partners. Creating spaces of connection, rest, and resilience is vital to our movement.
