Gathering in Beirut
On the 22nd of November 2025, a day which coincided with Lebanon's Independence day, we gathered with a crowd at a venue facing the Beirut Port silos, which still stand half demolished, a constant reminder that our crises are in fact not tragic misfortunes, but carefully designed and manufactured atrocities. We gathered that day for the public launch of the Agroecology Coalition in Lebanon (ACL). Agroecology is not just a science or farming practices, but the movement calling for food justice and sovereignty.
Mathematics of Predation
The global food system today demands that we forfeit our farmers' rights and autonomy, our people's dignity, health, and wellbeing, and the resilience and abundance of the environment we are a part of, all to achieve its goals.
