This article envisions agroecology as a revolutionary, anti-imperialist class struggle aimed at dismantling capitalist and imperialist systems rather than reforming them. It argues that agroecology should transition from being a set of farming practices to becoming a pathway to a post-capitalist, eco-communist society. This requires moving beyond liberal approaches—such as lobbying and ethical consumerism—that often dominate the agroecology movement in the global north but have proven insufficient to drive meaningful systemic change.

The author emphasizes that agroecology inherently challenges the capitalist system by demanding more labor-intensive farming practices, which disrupt the economic dependence on cheap food—a cornerstone of global capital. By increasing local food production and reducing reliance on exploitative imports, agroecology can weaken the flow of value from the global south to the global north, where cheap labor and resources are exploited under imperialist systems. The article links this vision to practices such as land redistribution, agroecological farming aligned with social justice, and solidarity with movements like MST (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra) and Palestinian liberation struggles.

Key aspects of this transformative agroecology include supporting migrant workers and landless workers in the global north. The article highlights the need for material solidarity to reduce the super-exploitation of these groups and ensure they retain more of the value they produce. This includes advocating for border abolition, creating non-privatized training networks for agricultural workers, and ensuring equitable access to land and food.

Ultimately, the article calls for agroecology to act as a tool for dismantling imperialism, repairing ecological systems, and promoting global solidarity through revolutionary, collective action, moving beyond reformist or market-driven solutions.
