  • Summary

  • A small farmer and Campaigns Coordinator for The Landworkers Alliance, Jyoti both embodies and powerfully communicates the possibility for a more just and sustainable future through local food sovereignty. On her 20-acre farm in Dorset, UK, Jyoti raises animals and grows vegetables and fruit, and processes apple juice, wool and jam. She is also a spokesperson for the international peasants' movement, La Via Campesina, and is a powerful advocate for policy change in the UK and beyond.

    In this episode, Jyoti presents a robust case for policy change, helping us understand what kind of structural decisions are needed to shift our food systems away from exploitation and corporate control, and towards sustainable, local food sovereignty, worldwide. She combats widely held misconceptions touted by global agribusinesses, and draws on personal experience to give detail about how food policy decisions are currently being made.
