Groundwork: Bridging the Rural-Urban Divide
August 9th 2021. 19:00 to 20:30
August 9th 2021 at 7pm-8:30pm.
Third of three programs on food and farming through a climate lens
ClimateFast is bringing to light the importance of the land and food production as drivers of global warming--and what we can do about it! Food systems have a huge impact on climate and climate has a huge influence on food production. Agriculture and land-use release as much carbon emissions every year as global electricity production -- and far more than the transport sector. Learn how agriculture and changes in our food system can be a climate solution. Research by Project Drawdown has demonstrated that by scaling up existing solutions, land-use can become a carbon sink rather than a source, while securing future food production, protecting natural systems, and creating a more equitable world.
Speakers include:
- Sally Miller, Fair Finance Fund

- Michelle Delaney, Thorncliffe Park Urban Farm
- Lily Phan, National Farmers Union (farmer)
