Food Relatives: Decolonizing and Indigenizing the Global Food System
April 1-2
The Food Institute Graduate Council (FIGC) at Berkeley is hosting a hybrid 2-day graduate student-led conference with the goal of connecting various actors (from scholar-activists to artists) through varying critiques and discussions of three major systems of oppression in the global Food System: colonization, heteropatriarchy, and capitalism. In doing so, the Food Relatives conference will give focus on alternative food relations outside of Industrial agricultural practices in order to amplify existing decolonizing and indigenizing movements that may improve Food Systems across all Global Directions, such as Indigenous and Black stewardship, agroecological methods, and regenerative agriculture.
Registration for the Food Relatives conference will be free to all participants and attendees. Day 1 will be held online over Zoom and Day 2 will be held online and in-person at the UC Berkeley campus. View more information and register through the link below!
