Cultivating sustainability
Food systems cases, challenges, and solutions from Costa Rica
The growing need to address the detrimental impacts of industrial
farming, as well as to promote and scale regenerative agroecological
farming, sparked our process of gathering experiences from
partners across the country. The result is this book, Cultivating
Sustainability: Food systems cases, challenges, and solutions
from Costa Rica. Many hands wrote the chapters, which together
exemplify the strength and solidarity of sustainable farming.
This collection shows the leading role of women, Indigenous
peoples, families and rural communities, and grassroots activism
in a process of maintaining centuries of traditional knowledge
that melds with natural scientific practices.
