   4. Interventions
      1. The UK has incredibly different social/economic/political contexts. How can agroecology be accelerated here?
      2. Current organising for food sovereignty is often making demands of the state. What are the more radical alternatives? What is the social movement's relationship to the state?
      3. There is limited quality education in agroecology or food sovereignty in the UK. What interventions could lead to more?
      4. People in the UK are struggling to resist because the means for reproduction are controlled so fully (food, housing, water, land). How could re-asserting control of the food system contribute to wider radical social change?
      5. Solidarity is often a hollow or symbolic show. What concrete models of solidarity exist? What does it mean?
