The progressive redistribution of oil revenue has allowed the Venezuelan Revolution to achieve remarkable social progress, including in health, education, housing and social justice. But there are major contradictions, not least for the environment which feeds back into health, food sovereignty and wellbeing. Venezuelan ecosocialist Miguel Angel Nuñez, an adviser to Chavèz on agro-ecology, discusses one of the big challenges for the revolution "How can the revolution be liberated from the oil economy" in an interview for Green Left TV. The interviewers were Jim McIlroy and Coral Wynter, authors of Voices from Venezuela. Filmed and edited by Peter Boyle.
