Want to attend the virtual classroom event being led by Dr. David Suzuki? The David Suzuki Foundation, the National Film Board of Canada and Humber College on the intersection of food equity and environmental justice will host a live feed for UPEI students, staff, and faculty in the K.C. Irving Chemistry Centre, room 104 at 1:00-2:30pm on Monday, October 6.
A panel discussion, led by Dr. David Suzuki, and streaming live from Humber to classrooms across the country, will examine the impact of modern farming practices on our health, land and food security.
Suzuki will be joined by panelists J.B. MacKinnon, co-author of Canadian bestseller "The 100-Mile Diet", and Utcha Sawyers, from Food Share Toronto to discuss what we can do as individuals and as a nation to ensure that every person has the basic ingredients for a life of health and dignity. The event also features poet Tanya Davis, whose compelling poem is the backdrop for the NFB film "Island Green", a look at conventional and organic farming on Prince Edward Island. The film is the catalyst for the panel discussion.
A screening of the 20 minute film "Island Green" will precede the live event at 12:30 and, if there is interest, will also follow the event at 2:30.
