SUMMARY:Wetlands Destruction: What We Lose\, and Quantifying Emissions
DESCRIPTION:Wetlands are crucial centers of biodiversity. But in many parts of the country we are draining\, plowing\, and destroying wetlands. And when we do\, they release greenhouse gasses. How can we protect wetlands and make that protection a core part of efforts to reduce emissions and increase biodiversity?  \n\n\n\nThis event is part of NFUniversity\, which explores big topics\, challenging questions & fresh thinking about the complex challenges facing farmers today.

SUMMARY:Colonial Roots of Modern Free Trade Agreements
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the colonial origins of modern international trade. Since the 1990s\, the World Trade Organization\, bilateral investment treaties\, and free trade agreements have governed the international trade and investment regime based on free market ideology\, but geopolitics\, power relations\, and corporate interests have shaped trade rules for over 500 years before they reached their current form. \n\n\n\nThe development of international trade and mercantilism at the dawn of colonialism resulted from an alliance between colonial states and companies that allowed them to shape international trade and investment rules until most states gained their independence after World War II. Today’s free trade practices reflect their colonial legacy\, as the center of the global economy continues to dictate and shape activity in the periphery according to its own interests. A sound assessment of the nature of these trade and investment agreements is essential to addressing the problems they create. \n\n\n\nAdditional resource and background: “How colonialism shaped free trade agreements” by Nicolas Roux.
