Sarah DeLano will speak about the importance of urban natural spaces as they relate to food systems and environmental and social equity. She will discuss two recent research projects she has been involved in: An urban berry picking project with the Métis Nation of Alberta Environment Department and a community-based research project completed at the U of A, and in collaboration with the Multicultural Family Resource Society. The latter involved the creation of a place-based recipe book that features produce we can grow and forage right here in Edmonton.
