Abstract

Kai Heron, a lecturer in politics at the University of Manchester, and farmer Alex Heffron, based in the hills of southwest Wales, are critical of the contradictions between the Green New Deal's aspirations and its material effects, especially in the Global South. Here they outline their commitment to collective agrarian movements and agroecological farming to imagine a land-sharing approach defined by intricate matrices of urban and rural land-uses where human and nonhumans can flourish together.
