The People’s Agroecology School of Vermont (PASV) is a collective led by land workers, organizers, and educators, with a focus on creating the conditions for thriving food systems–the basis of healthy, resilient communities. The PASV is inspired by and connected to a global network of agroecology schools through La Via Campesina (LVC). Rural Vermont, a farmer-led group organizing for agrarian social change since 1985, is a member of LVC and the school’s fiscal sponsor. PASV facilitates educational experiences that foster participants’s self-transformation into empowered stewards of ecological and social change. We root our approach in agroecology; centering critical analysis, regenerative practices, and the interweaving of multiple ways of knowing. Agroecology is the basis for food sovereignty–the right of peoples to collectively build and control their own food systems, and territories based on ecology, culture, and social justice. Agroecology has demonstrated its strength for making significant gains in the interrelated crises of climate change, economic precarity, and diminishing access to food and arable land. As Vermont’s increasing vulnerability is revealed, more people gravitate toward agroecology as a promising path forward.The PASV realizes our pedagogy through three main mechanisms: technical training in agroecological methods, political education and activation, and deepening relations to territory and each other.
