SUMMARY:Socio-environmental Conflicts in Colombia’s Sierra de la Macarena National Park: The impacts of restrictive conservation on the peasantry
DESCRIPTION:Located at the gateway of the Amazon region\, the Sierra de la Macarena National Park is home to hundreds of campesinos who rely on cattle ranching and\, to a lesser extent\, small-scale ecotourism as their primary livelihood. However\, they face significant challenges due to the restrictions imposed by the National Natural Park (NNP) authorities. These restrictions have resulted in sanctions\, limitations on maintaining their economies\, and the increase of multiple socio-environmental conflicts that are also related to the rising deforestation by various actors with interests in land concentration in the area. \nDrawing from feminist political ecology and agrarian political economy\, Sammy Sánchez will present her research analyzing how restrictive conservation impacts the everyday life of the peasantry. She will discuss the multiple impacts on the population that limit access to vital spaces: not only violence and economic impacts\, but also undermining communal areas for youth and children (e.g.\, school infrastructure). Join us to learn more about the struggles of Colombian peasants in this context\, and what Canadian farmers can do to act in solidarity. \nWhen: February 26th @ 6pm ET \nWhere: On-line. Please register in advance here \n*French and Spanish translation is available upon request* \nREGISTER HERE/ L’INSCRIPTION / INSCRÍBASE\n\nConflits socio-environnementaux dans le parc national de la Sierra de la Macarena en Colombie : Les impacts de la conservation restrictive sur la paysannerie \n  \nSitué aux portes de l’Amazonie\, le parc national de la Sierra de la Macarena abrite des centaines de campesinos dont le principal moyen de subsistance est l’élevage de bétail et\, dans une moindre mesure\, l’écotourisme à petite échelle. Cependant\, ils sont confrontés à d’importants défis en raison des restrictions imposées par les autorités du Parc naturel national (PNN). Ces restrictions ont entraîné des sanctions\, des limitations dans le maintien de leurs économies et l’augmentation de multiples conflits socio-environnementaux qui sont également liés à l’augmentation de la déforestation par divers acteurs ayant des intérêts dans la concentration des terres dans la région. \nS’inspirant de l’écologie politique féministe et de l’économie politique agraire\, Sammy Sánchez présentera ses recherches qui analysent l’impact de la conservation restrictive sur la vie quotidienne de la paysannerie. Elle discutera des multiples impacts sur la population qui limitent l’accès aux espaces vitaux : non seulement la violence et les impacts économiques\, mais aussi l’affaiblissement des espaces communautaires pour les jeunes et les enfants (par exemple\, l’infrastructure scolaire). Rejoignez-nous pour en savoir plus sur les luttes des paysans colombiens dans ce contexte et sur ce que les fermiers canadiens peuvent faire pour agir en solidarité. \n  \nQuand : 26 février à 18 heures (heure de l’Est) \nOù : En ligne. Veuillez vous inscrire à l’avance ici \n*La traduction en français et en espagnol est disponible sur demande. \n\nConflictos socio-ambientales en el Parque Nacional Natural Sierra de la Macarena en Colombia: los impactos de la conservación restrictiva sobre el campesinado \nLocalizado en la puerta de entrada de la región amazonica colombiana\, el Parque Nacional Natural Serranía de la Macarena es el hogar de miles de campesinos y campesinas que dependen de la ganadería y el ecoturismo -en menor medida- como su principal medio de subsistencia. Sin embargo\, debido a la conservación estricta y las limitaciones para mantener sus medios de vida\, las familias campesinas enfrentan dificultades para vivir en la zona\, tener acceso a la tierra y sus recursos naturales. Esas restricciones han resultado en sanciones\, limitaciones para mantener sus economías y el incremento de múltiples conflictos socioambientales que también se relacionan con el incremento de la deforestación por parte de múltiples actores con intereses en el acaparamiento y la concentración de tierras en la zona.  \nAnalizando este tema desde la economía política agraria y la ecología política feminista\, Sammy Sánchez presentará su investigación en la cual analiza cómo la conservación restrictiva impacta la vida cotidiana del campesinado. Ella discutirá sobre los múltiples impactos sobre la población campesina en la cual se ve limitada para acceder a múltiples espacios cotidianos\, esto se refleja\, no sólo en los impactos económicos y violentos contra el campesinado\, sino también en limitaciones para acceder a áreas comunales y espacios importantes para la reproducción social. Únete para aprender más acerca de la situación del campesinado en Colombia\, y las acciones de solidaridad que podríamos hacer desde la organización de agricultores de cada \nCuándo: 26 de febrero a las 18.00 ET\nDónde: En línea.

SUMMARY:NFU Convergence to Sow the Seeds of Farmland Protection
DESCRIPTION:We’re inviting farmers from across BC to come together for a weekend of connecting\, learning\, sharing\, and building power together to protect BC’s limited viable farmland. Rising prices\, development\, investor influence\, and more are making it increasingly difficult for young farmers to get started. We envision a food system where farming is a viable career option\, land ownership is deconcentrated\, farmland is valued for growing food rather than being treated like an investment opportunity\, and where Indigenous nations have control over their traditional foodlands. \nLEARN MORE AND REGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:Black Farmer History
DESCRIPTION:In the popular imagination\, agriculture is often seen as a site of oppression and exploitation of Black people. However\, Karina Vernon’s talk reveals agriculture as an important but under-celebrated site of resistance and freedom for Black people in Canada.  \n\n\n\nBy looking at examples of particular Black farmers in Alberta\, Saskatchewan and Manitoba\, their histories of migration\, and their literary and oral cultures\, this talk reveals how farms provided the ground for Black sovereignty\, collective agency\, and community resilience in Canada. Finally\, this talk considers how the important memory of Black “freedom farms” are being kept alive in the present through story and song.
