There is so much potential here – from hydro corridors, to park land, to those strips of grass between ‘private’ property and public infrastructure that a government oversees, where we could be growing food, closer to home, with more hands involved.

We were excited about this one, and we hope you are too!

Join S&G hosts for a final round of reflections on a season of land access stories and strategies. A difficult subject to capture in six episodes, we know the conversation is growing, and currently includes many folks whose voices you didn’t hear. And that’s where we plan to continue – joining the larger community of active participants and actors dreaming up how we can farm in a future accessible to all.

With Episode 5 comes an in depth conversation between two (previous) co-farmers and friends on how to find security in a precarious system. This episode is part of a larger conversation of imagining a relationship to land that is beyond our colonial understanding. We intend to continue the conversation after this series is released, and we encourage you to reach out to producer Maddie Marmor if you have ideas on how to do so.

Farming on 'Public' Lands - Highs and Lows 57:42

29 weeks پیش57:42

57:42

Within the Canadian context, ‘public’ lands refers to lands a government has first jurisdiction over – like a park, or ‘crown land’. In this understanding, the ‘people’ of that nation are the first (human) stakeholders who should be considered when making decisions on that land. S&G wanted to find those very few public land scenarios in Canada where food growing was the main consideration, and to hear from those who are farming there – the perks, the oversight, what was possible and what still needs dreaming up. There is so much potential here – from hydro corridors, to park land, to those strips of grass between ‘private’ property and public infrastructure that a government oversees, where we could be growing food, closer to home, with more hands involved.

Land Access Stories 1:13:00

30 weeks پیش1:13:00

1:13:00

There are so many stories out there of how people come to farming – whether it’s first generation, or intergenerational. The fascinating yet frustrating thing is these stories are almost all different. There doesn’t seem to be a simple, tried and true path to farming. Frustrating too, because the tips and strategies of the ‘how’ are hard to hear and tease out. The crew tries to do just that, focusing on finding the high-level nuances of those strategies, while attempting to build a list of tips for those stuck in the complexity of doing something that feels hard on a good day. A special thank you to the many, many farmers and farm workers who sat down to share their stories with us. One of the hardest choices of the season was choosing which made it into the show. Thank you again, and to those reading, listen to your farmers – their stories are ones of perseverance, strength and resilience, and certainly sources of great hope.

In this episode, the crew takes all the hype heard about Québec, the solutions the province is offering to successfully encourage farm renewal, and offers examples of personal stories and systemic decisions happening on the regional level. With help from farmers, policy folks and land access supporters, a dream of a national land access strategy for farmers takes shape, seeking the lessons we can learn from a government that wants to solve this issue, and what we can demand from governments that need to do much, much more.

Why Land Access? 54:40

32 weeks پیش54:40

54:40

Land is spoken of constantly in young and new farm circles – where are you farming, how did you access it, what was your strategy, … it is almost always the 3rd or 4th question after “How are you?” and “How’s the season going?” Some would wax on about vertical farming, aquaponics, and lab grown food. Fair, however these formats are not what the majority of young and new farmers are interested in. Land, soil and access to it, is at the heart of our experience – it is fraught, loaded and deeply rooted at the intersection of class, race, settler – first nation relationships and capitalism (this list is not exhaustive.) In short, land is still that important. In this first episode of the series, S&G hosts Stuart Oke, Aliyah Fraser and Maddie Marmor break down some of the personal reasons to focus on Land Access. It will introduce the struggle to lens equity into the series from the context of four farmers (can’t forget the amazing Kate Garvie – producer/editor extraordinaire!) who are young, currently and previously ‘landless’, first generation, lower class, white and black, who want to farm while decolonizing within a colonial system. Balancing the inclusion of land ownership in the land access conversation while not promoting it as a solution was a tension throughout the season. We ask it to you now: how do we access land while also decolonizing? All this and more in our first episode of the series – Why Land Access?

We are so excited to announce that our team is currently in production and fundraising mode for a 2nd season of the podcast . We can't share too much about what it will look like yet but we can share that it'll include the same great team as in season one, that we'll have a new name for season two, that we'll bring the same lens of Food Sovereignty to every episode, and that the podcast will be released in the springtime of 2023. We know everyone is constantly bombarded with appeals for money these days, and there are many places you can choose to put your money. We hope that after season one, you've seen the value in what we're trying to do with this podcast and enjoyed the content we've put into the world. After putting hundreds of hours into season one, we're a lot wiser and more knowledgeable about what it'll take to do this work this winter and are ready to jump into it with both feet. However, we know how important money is to making this happen and ensuring the same quality of guests and production as in season one. That's why we've created a fundraising campaign ...to ask for your help in making this happen. The good news is that we're already more than 60% of the way toward being fully funded thanks to a significant sponsorship but we still need a last push to get to our fundraising goal and make sure this podcast can be every bit as good as season one and hopefully even better! If you can afford to and enjoyed season one of the podcast we hope you'll consider sending a little money our way to help take season two from a great idea to fully formed series wherever podcasts are found... We can’t do this without you! You can find details and give to our campaign at: https://gofund.me/0c91b0a3 Links: Fundraiser: https://gofund.me/0c91b0a3…

Agroecology and Building a Food System that Works 33:11

In the final episode of our series we’re going to be revisiting agroecology and how it may offer a solution to some of the many challenges that we’ve identified in our current agricultural system. Our guest for this episode is Jessie MacInnis, a peasant farmer, academic, and activist, who has been involved in conversations on agroecology at local and international levels. She will break down the mystery of agroecology and explain how it is useful for her farm and can be useful for farmers of all scales. It’s a great conversation and it helps debunk the myth that small farmers cannot feed the world. Jessie MacInnis is a small-scale, first generation agroecological farmer and scholar-activist based in unceded and unsurrendered Mi'kmaq territory (aka Nova Scotia), Canada. She is currently the Youth President of the National Farmers Union of Canada. She has been extensively involved with La Via Campesina regionally and internationally for a number of years. She recently graduated from the first cohort of the Master of Human Rights (MHR) program at the University of Manitoba.

In this episode we’re examining this country’s agricultural system through the lens of decolonization and focusing on the importance of Indigenous foodways. Our guest, Tiffany Traverse, tells us about her work with Fourth Sister Farm, preserving traditional Indigenous foods and reframing our relationship with seeds and with the land. Tiffany is of Secwepemc and European descent. With Fourth Sister Farm she grows rare varieties of vegetables, fruits and other plants that are traditional to both Secwepemc and other Indigenous peoples. The goal of the farm is to connect with other seed and land stewards, and encourage community members to strive for stronger food security without extraction.

The unequal price of food starts with production! Our guest, Cheyenne Sundance, highlights the necessity of paying fair wages for farm work and in making small scale farming a viable livelihood and step to achieving food sovereignty. We’ll dive into the tension between food prices and fair wages while getting into one of Sundance Harvest’s central goals of providing dignified work to people who have historically been shut out from an equitable place in agriculture. Small scale farmers feed the world, so let’s make sure they are fairly compensated! Cheyenne Sundance is the director of Sundance Harvest, a year round urban farm growing flowers, herbs, mushrooms, and veg in Toronto. Cheyenne started Sundance Harvest from nothing but stubbornness, a nurturing love of the land and a drive to see true equity in agriculture. She sits on the Ontario board of the National Farmers Union as well as started the first BIPOC Farmers Caucus across Canada with the National Farmers Union and now sits on the Executive Board.

This episode offers a deep exploration of the multi-faceted migrant farm labour crisis. Kit Andres, from the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, offers insight into the unstable foundation of our current agricultural system due to lack of access to permanent residency and work permits that tie workers to their employers. Farming is skilled labour, so policy and treatment of workers should reflect that. Tune in to learn more about how we can work together to uplift migrant workers and build a stronger food system! Kit Andres is a 3rd generation white settler in the Niagara region of Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe territory. As someone with citizenship status, they are united with their migrant, refugee, and undocumented neighbours to win full and permanent immigration status for all.
