<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">Students and faculty are invited to gather as Mateo shares his team's experiences on how Ecuadorian farmers, particularly from Indigenous and Amazonian communities
face multiple crises through agroecological and traditional farming systems. They work together with a campesino agriculture that emphasizes autonomy and (ground)ing, food sovereignty being a key theme here. Central to this discussion is a health epistemology
that intertwines agriculture with well-being. Indigenous and Amazonian cultures view soil, plants, rivers, and community as inseparable from physical, spiritual, and social health. Join us to investigate how this old knowledge fosters new resilient food systems
and health paradigms, challenging hegemonic health and agricultural models, to envision futures of abundance.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
