Paradoxical scenarios are common that show us scientific evidence: human activity has led us to overcome six of the Earth's nine borders and its transgression would not guarantee the continuity of life so far known. The truth is that there is a correlation of forces so that we are only indirectly influenced by similar news, and instead of questioning the structures of power, we seem to naturally pick up the slap.
As this correlation of forces increases the Greek authorities, projects that reach the lowest level are in full tension with private and public agents who show no commitment to change the logic of the Hegemonic Food System. Besides the existence of spaces of tension and struggle between different models, these private and public agents are responsible for assuming the discourse constructed from Agroecology, although they refer to "climate-smart agriculture", "sustainable intensification" or "pressive agriculture".
We don't have to go back so many years to find similar facts. We should look at the direction taken by the eco-label created to reduce the negative effects of the Industrial Food System. This experience has shown us the ability of large food corporations to modify the regulation of organic farming, creating a scenario of large-scale “organic” monoculture mercantilization, based on the logic of substituting substances that can be used in agriculture. Currently, the sale of organic food is in the hands of General Mills and Danone. In short, agroecology is conceived as a practice of tuning industrial agriculture, without any interest in addressing structural (socio-economic) imbalances.
This correlation of forces that concentrates power in less and less hands is supported by institutions such as governments, the media or the educational system. It is thus difficult to maintain in the long term the agri-ecological projects that seek to transform the Food System from public institutions, in this context we put what happened last year in the Navarro Council of Organic Agriculture (NNPEK). We have realized that, to the extent that it has demonstrated its ability to strengthen cooperation between the Agroecological farmers of Navarra, they have set up a supply and logistics centre (Ekoalde project), or with agroecological criteria in the catering documents of the children's schools of Pamplona (Hemengoa project), as well as opening the door to privatization, they have internally emptied the Council.
