Blain Snipstal, former youth advocate for La Via Campesina, has thought a lot about power. In our chat we talk about how Blain sees the legacy of the plantation model of agriculture still lingering today; we discuss how the dialogues and exchanges between peasant farmers can uncover a deep analysis of the food system; and he shares some of his many experiences as a farmer, an activist, and an organizer. We also touch on the power of collaborating across grassroots movements and whose knowledge counts in food debates.For more info and resources, please visit: https://tabledebates.org/podcast/episode32
