Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reclaiming Africa’s Food Future: Agroecology, Power & Resistance | Pat Mooney
Q: What three messages would you leave with African youth activists about the future of food and water?
He urges resilience and continued action, warning against despair while emphasizing that victories are not permanent and defeats can lay groundwork for future wins; he emphasizes horizon-scanning, cross-movement learning, and practical, courageous organizing.
Reclaiming Africa’s Food Future: Agroecology, Power & Resistance | Pat Mooney
Q: Can we re-imagine or expand the four scenarios you painted for civil society to address current geopolitics and market dynamics?
The interview suggests refining action-oriented pathways, broadening cross-movement alliances, and clarifying how to persuade governments to restructure funding and governance of Rome-based agencies to support agroecology and food sovereignty.
Reclaiming Africa’s Food Future: Agroecology, Power & Resistance | Pat Mooney
Q: How do you imagine leading the Alliance for Full Sovereignty in Africa and coordinating with other actors to push for territorial food systems?
Mooney describes building a flexible, coalition-driven approach that strengthens civil society in Africa and beyond, leveraging crises to push for reforms in governance, funding, and policy that favor territorial, community-based food systems over centralized, corporate-dominated models.
Gene Editing, AI & Synthetic Biology: Corporate Capture of African Agriculture
Q: Pat, you often say that new technologies are being introduced as solutions, but often create new dependencies. Could you expand on that?
Mooney explains that capitalism leverages creative destruction to replace old systems with new ones, ensuring ongoing customer dependence and expanded markets; this is less about a conspiracy and more about economic logic that creates dependency and shifts power.
The battle of narratives and how it shapes African food systems today | Professor Molly Anderson
Q: Molly, could you start by sharing what first drew you into the world of justice and food system research?
Her answer traces her upbringing in a racially charged US environment, her commitment to justice, and how recognizing the interconnections between environmental problems and food systems led her to study how political will shapes outcomes.
