⁣AMADOU HAMPÂTÉ BÂ - L’Émotion

This is a recording of a webinar hosted by Pesticide Action Network (PAN) International. Hear farmers from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and North America sharing their experiences and successes in agroecology. This proven approach to farming — grounded in principles of equity, collectivity, and food sovereignty — has enabled farmers around the world to replace dependence on highly hazardous pesticides with healthy, resilient food and farming systems that nourish their communities, ecosystems, and the planet.

Cantave Jean-Baptiste of Partenariat pour le Développement Local (PDL) in Haiti and Steve Brescia of Groundswell International will share strategies and lessons from rural Haiti.
Haiti is one of the world's most vulnerable countries to climate change.
What is working to strengthen farmer organizations to build resilience and wellbeing through agroecology? How can we spread these successes?

Cantave Jean-Baptiste, Executive Director, PDL
Steve Brescia, Executive Director, Groundswell International
