Join Dr. Priscilla Settee for the launch of Indigenous Insights for Planetary Health and Sustainable Food Systems (Canadian Scholars Press).

This event will be held in the Travel Alcove and as a simultaneous YouTube stream.

Indigenous Insights for Planetary Health and Sustainable Food Systems builds upon the indispensable resource Indigenous Food Systems (Settee and Shukla, 2020). Cultivating new partnerships with scholars, community organizations, and grassroots practitioners across the globe, this follow-up volume aims to improve the understanding and outcomes of planetary health and sustainable food systems through cross-cultural sharing of Indigenous-focused research and experiences.

The PFSVN is honoured that our approach to food systems transformation is explored in Chapter 16 – “The Rockefeller Food System Vision Prize: Identifying and Supporting Emergent Solutions for Food Systems Transformation.” The contribution was co-authored by Dr. Priscilla Settee, Paul Hanley and Marla Carlson - all members of our original steering committee. We are grateful to Dr. Settee for the invitation to share our work in this important book. Paul Hanley is attending the book launch.
