Altieri Warns Agroecology Movement Is Losing Its Political Edge to Institutional Co-Option

This report covers altieri warns agroecology movement with key details and context.

Agroecology pioneer Miguel Altieri has warned that the movement he helped build is being stripped of its political meaning by the very institutions now embracing it. In a new podcast interview with Million Belay, general coordinator of the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), Altieri expressed concern that agroecology risks becoming a hollow technical fix rather than a transformative force for food sovereignty. Altieri, professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, said the growing institutional adoption of agroecology often dilutes its core principles, focusing on productivity rather than challenging industrial agriculture and power structures. His warning comes as agroecology gains traction globally as a sustainable alternative, particularly in Africa where smallholder farmers face climate and economic pressures. Altieri urged the movement to maintain its political roots to remain effective.
