🌱 “She counts seeds, not money — each one a taste of hope.”

Mrudula of NAAWU calls for governments that uphold constitutional values — education, dignified work, equal opportunities, and agroecology.

🚨 She warns: development must never mean land grabs, distress migration, or destroyed resources.

✊ Even after violence and restrictions, youth demanded accountability over the NEET exam leak — proving that true progress is measured by dignity, rights, and unity, not profit or power.

How are young people involved in #agroecology and receive indigenous people's knowledge and wisdom?

Meet Mrudula from Sahanivasa & NAAWU, India.

“The top 1% owns over half of India’s wealth, while the bottom 50% holds just 3%.”

But youth are rising — demanding justice, dignity, agroecology, and climate action. 🌱✊

🔥 International Youth Day 2026

🌾 Most of the staple crops that nourish the world are grown in paddies—wetlands where biodiversity not only thrives but is vital to the health of the fields themselves.
🐦 How do birds sustain these ecosystems? Why are they so crucial to biodiversity in paddies?
In this video, Thanal researcher Raju Sankaran from Kerala explains how birds act as the “eco‑managers” of the fields, maintaining balance and resilience in the paddy landscape.

Birds as Eco‑Managers: Sustaining India’s Paddy Fields

The episode highlights the consumers’ role in the creation of a just, healthy, equitable and sustainable food system. More and more people are recognizing this, evident in the growing demand for food that is ethically made and grown, and making sure this is widely accessible. But food system transformation requires civic participation beyond consumption. There is a shift that needs to happen from being consumers to co-producers, and it is essential to recognize and reclaim the attendant agency and power in this shift to be able to support the food systems transformation to agroecology.

Just Eats: The Role of Consumers in Agroecology

This episode focuses on women in agroecology, a science, praxis and movement that promotes gender equity and empowerment, given that women in agriculture continue to be among the most dispossessed and marginalized. Women make up more than half of the global number of farmers, but they are often considered subordinate to male farmers, their farm work often considered an extension to their house work, and therefore more likely to be denied access to resources and services that can improve their livelihood and promote their empowerment. Gender inequality also intensifies women farmers’ vulnerability to climate change. Women farmers are often the main promoters of climate-adaptation technologies in agriculture, however they “often feel ignored, overlooked and not taken seriously when they try to make their contributions and share their knowledge.” But it is women farmers who are at the frontlines of the transition from chemical-intensive corporatized agriculture to agroecology, given that the latter upholds their rights and supports their role in ensuring climate resiliency, food sufficiency, and nutrition security at home and in their communities through food sovereignty.

The Future is Female: Women Farmers and Agroecology

The episode focuses on the importance of indigenous worldviews and practices in agroecology as a climate solution. We expose its dismissal by corporate actors, while extracting from it in the form of various false solutions stripped of their social and political power such as nature-based solutions, carbon offsetting, climate-smart agriculture, among others. With agroecology, farmers are active producers and not passive recipients of innovations for climate resilience. And under agroecology, innovation is not constrained merely within novel tools and technologies solely to improve productivity and profit. But innovation in essence means “doing things differently,” and therefore must be broadened to include social processes and structures of relationships, among others, to achieve climate resilience and food sovereignty, and protect the political and social agency of farmers and communities in meeting their needs and shaping their future.
