Seeds, Food and Climate Resilience Seminar

Video recording from March 26th event.

Genetically diverse seeds, developed and maintained by Indigenous peoples and farmers over thousands of years, live at the heart of our food systems. The diversity embodied in seed and food system diversity are also key to resilience in the face of a deepening climate emergency. This seminar will explore the importance of seed and food system diversity in the face of climate change. Discussion will focus on the steps we can all take, in both policy and practice, as Indigenous Nations, NGOs, governments, farmers, and researchers, to maintain and strengthen this vital connection between people and the more-than-human world we are part of.

Featuring speakers from each of these communities, this seminar is also the Ottawa launch of the Earth to Table Legacies book, an intergenerational and intercultural exchange of knowledges and practices of food sovereignty.
