Drawing on years of hands-on fieldwork with Nova Scotia farmers and craftspeople, NSCAD professor Jennifer Green will discuss how design research can bridge sustainable agriculture, textile production, and climate action. Joining Prof. Green will be OCAD U professor Shannon Gerard who will share her research: Plant Parenthood – a farm, a publishing house and a classroom with an emphasis on radical seed saving, cooperative programming, regional adaptation of diasporic food and social justice.
