In this episode we go all the way to Wageningen in the Netherlands and interview Heitor, a Brazilian PhD candidate at the Wageningen University where he focuses his research on Biodiversity and Ecosystem services.
He goes over the situation in Brazil and explains the reasons for the fires in the Amazon which include changes in policy, greater deforestation compared to previous years and the curre global agro food system.
He then takes us on a journey through Agroecology as a systemic solution to the imbalance in the current Agro food system.
He finally asks us and the audience to organize ourselves and to join organizations that are pushing this transformation forward, since by uniting we can leverage our strengths and accelerate the much needed change.
