SUMMARY:Climate Change & Food Systems Evening
DESCRIPTION:Addressing food systems issues are at the core of tackling environmental degradation and our warming planet. Hear organic farmers, Indigenous food sovereignty experts and environmental activists discuss how food can be essential to tackling climate change-one of the most pressing issues of our time. Join Meal Exchange and the 2019 National Student Food Summit delegates for an evening of networking, food and important conversations. The evening will begin with a chance to network and eat, followed by a keynote address from Cheyenne Sundance and a panel discussion.\nKeynote:\nCheyenne Sundance, Sundance Harvest\nCheyenne Sundance is an organic urban farmer who has worked in both rural and urban settings where she tended to fields of vegetables, fruit forests and grain. Her farming has always been with a social justice framework since being able to grow your own food is the foundation of independence and liberation, especially for those who are Black, Indigenous and Persons of Colour. Cheyenne provides Toronto with organic and ethically grown produce through a resistance based urban farming organization called Sundance Harvest.\nModerator:\nTabitha Martens, University of Manitoba\nBio coming soon!\nPanelists:\nIan Borsuk, Environment Hamilton\nIan Borsuk is the Climate Campaign Coordinator at Environment Hamilton. He has been an environmental activist and organiser for over a decade, and can be found fighting for not just environmental justice but economic and social justice as well across Hamilton. He also sits on the Board of Directors for The Mustard Seed, a member owned grocery store cooperative that has a mandate of expanding accessibility to healthy local food for the community.\nNathalie Vengal, UFCW Canada\nBio coming soon!\nKelsey Carriere, The Food Systems Lab\nBio coming soon!\nDetails\nThis event is taking place from 5:30-8:30pm on Thursday, August 15th in Celebration Hall (Togo Salmon Hall) at McMaster University.
