ABSTRACT
The ethical principles of agroecology, rooted in environmental justice, interspecies solidarity, principles of environmental care and stewardship provide all the cues to reconnect urban lives to models of food production that regenerate the ecological basis on which these urban lives depend. The pervasive presence of food in our capitalist daily lives makes it a rich subject to engage in the methodologies of Gibson-Graham, namely to (re)learn to see the diversity that is out there and is not accounted for by the logics of capitalism. Politicised pedagogies are essentials to the project of an agroecological urbanism in all its transformative ambitions. As the agroecological movement and scholarship has highlighted, the development of agroecology has been consistent with the strengthening of communities of practices, the building of new subjectivities and the articulation of political movements. Agroecology as a practice, movement and science is embedded in concrete communities and places, and it strongly values indigenous and local knowledge.
