Session Description
How Agriculture & Traditional Knowledge Help Sustain Food Sovereignty – In this discussion we explore how Indigenous peoples are creating economic security through farming and agriculture, what programs and practices already exist, and what role traditional knowledge plays in land and food stability.
“It’s essential that we create space for Indigenous youth to participate in national conversations about economic reconciliation if we hope to establish the sustained momentum needed to address and correct the growing economic gap existing between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians... I am certain the lived experiences, insights and unique outlooks of our 2023 Forward Summit Youth Delegation will provide inspiration and hope to all industry partners and conference participants in attendance.”
