Sheltered from the morning sun by a zinc roof, surrounded by greenery and equipped with hoes, digging bars, picks, and shovels, more than 30 people gathered on a recent Friday to learn everything from how to sharpen a machete to how to bring to the table food grown by their own hands. The gathering, part of a course offered by the agroecological project El Josco Bravo, planted more than just theory: it reinforced the commitment to Puerto Rico’s food sovereignty, in an effort that intertwines environmental protection with communities’ right to nourish themselves from their own land.
