Global to Local Ag: A YYC Food Tour

Описание: As you gather in gratitude this time of year, take a moment and think about the foods you're consuming. Where do the ingredients come from and how did they arrive on your plate? Who grew them and what kind of agricultural model did they employ? This talk will shed light on the dynamics of urban ag in Calgary, including who is doing what and who continues to face food insecurity. Bringing together voices from the grassroots, anecdotes from farming, and her experiential graduate research, Chelsea Klinke will guide us on a YYC Food Tour like no other!

Bio: Chelsea Klinke is an Anthropology graduate student at the University of Calgary, Canada. Under the supervision of Dr. Ben McKay, Klinke's participatory research addresses issues in food security, access, and sovereignty in local and global contexts.
