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 future. 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.
Self-Reflection.
We strive to embody humility, gratitude, accountability, honesty, self-awareness, and loving-kindness in ourselves and our work.
Reciprocity.
We uphold mutual support, collective well-being, and interdependence through holistic care, horizontal and popular education, and care for community.
Racial Healing.
We are committed to dismantling white supremacy culture and standing with Black, Indigenous, and people of color, and peasant-led social movements to honor life, water, earth, and our interconnected wellbeing.
Cooperation.
We enact the Rochdale principles through our bylaws, operations, and worker self-direction: voluntary membership, democratic governance, and autonomy among cooperatives, political consciousness, and economic self-empowerment.
