Lunchtime Speaker Series: Anti-Racism and Decolonial Agriculture

Join us for a virtual lunchtime speaker series bringing together diverse voices in agriculture to support our local communities in learning and integrating the distinct and varied ways of farming, tending land, and understanding the challenges faced by BIPOC farmers and farmworkers. Thursdays at noon. Sponsored by SOU, OSU Extension, and Rogue Valley Food System Network.

Topic: (re)location and (re)connection with first foods

Speaker: Indigenous Gardens Network
The CTSI and CTGR communities have experienced traumatic removal from their homelands in Southern Oregon. The IGN is helping to heal that trauma to our people and the land. A cornerstone of this work focuses on our first foods which sustain our life as well as teach us about our responsibilities to place and community. We are happy to share about the work we are doing in southern Oregon and our communities back home to return, restore, remember, and revitalize our relationships.
