"Systems of Sovereignty: Cultivating Justice from the Ground Up" Workshop at Education of Sustainable Living Program (ESLP) Monday Night Lecture Series
Monday May 13, 2019
In collaboration with ESLP, FoCAN and CAN held this workshop for the students enrolled in their annual Spring class! Activities such as coffee cupping, debates concerning pesticides and health, seed bank exhibits, and crop diversification-inspired gardens took place. We hope we’ve energized participants to take action and to stand in solidarity with small scale farmers in an effort to accomplish the sustainable future we all seek.
