## Resource

In this episode of The Battle for African Agriculture , Million Belay speaks with theologian and activist Michael Tettey about how colonialism disrupted African spirituality, identity, and food systems. Tettey reflects on the deep ties between indigenous beliefs and traditional food practices, and how missionary churches altered these connections—labeling sacred foods as taboo and weakening communal rituals around food. The conversation explores how colonial religious teachings reshaped African ecological ethics and cultural identity. Together, they discuss the need to decolonize African minds and food systems by reconnecting with indigenous spirituality and values. Tettey emphasizes the importance of youth in bridging traditional knowledge with modern agroecological practices. This powerful conversation calls for a revival of African ethics, environmental responsibility, and community cohesion as key steps toward a more just and sustainable future for African agriculture.
