We invite you to share your previously published stories that delve into various key oppressions within the realm of agroecology. We are particularly interested in stories on the following topics:

Biopiracy: Uncovering the exploitation and appropriation of indigenous knowledge and genetic resources by corporations for profit.
Food Apartheid: Highlighting systemic inequalities in access to nutritious food, often based on race, class, or geographic location.

Industrial Agriculture: Examining the environmental degradation, health risks, and social injustices associated with large-scale, monoculture farming.
Genome Editing or Gene-Editing in Plants: Exploring the ethical, regulatory, and ecological implications of manipulating plant genomes.
Your stories will contribute to raising awareness, fostering dialogue, and catalyzing positive change towards a more just, sustainable, and resilient food system in Africa and beyond.
