A study conducted outside of Vernon, BC found that placing leftover logging debris from timber harvesting in riparian areas can deter livestock from grazing in these areas, leading to better riparian ecosystem health. 🪵🐮 Read the summary: bcfoodweb.ca/briefs/moo-ve-o…

DYK that there are 32 long-term water advisories affecting 28 First Nations reserves in Canada? The longest of these water advisories has been in effect since 1995 — that’s 28 years! #WorldWaterDay

🧵 1/5: Today, we want to talk about Black food sovereignty.  What is food sovereignty? It’s about reclaiming the power of food. The concept was coined in 1996 by La Via Campesina, a global movement of farmers, to describe their vision of a better food future. #BlackHistoryMonth
What is Black food sovereignty? “Black food sovereignty is the right of people of African descent to access healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems.” — Black Food Sovereignty Toronto #BlackHistoryMonth2023
