SUMMARY:NFU-O Convention and AGM
DESCRIPTION:This year’s theme\, “Deeply Rooted”\, reflects the structural forces at play which prevent swift and meaningful action to counter and mitigate the effects of climate change. Yet “Deeply Rooted” also celebrates the agroecological solutions to climate mitigation: deep roots sequester more carbon in the soil and are more resilient to extreme weather conditions. Our AGM & Convention panels\, including our keynote address from Dr. Priscilla Settee\, will fill the space in between these two ideas. \nNFU-O’s Regional Convention and AGM is coming up on March 3-4.

SUMMARY:Disaster Response Kitchen Table Talks
DESCRIPTION:Were you impacted by natural disasters this season? Supply chain issues? Still scrambling after receiving aid or having difficulty accessing it? \nThe NFU Region 8 (BC & Yukon) wants to talk with farmers and farmworkers about effective disaster recovery and hear about your experiences this year. On March 2nd\, we are hosting a Region 8 Disaster Response Kitchen Table event\, where you can learn with us how disaster response is structured elsewhere in the world to protect farmers and food systems\, and then share with us what supports were helpful this year\, what was missing\, and what will be necessary in the future as disasters intensify. \nAt 2021 National Convention\, the NFU membership passed a formal resolution to press provincial and federal governments to legislate agriculture-specific plans for the emergency management of compound natural disasters. Your participation in this Kitchen Table will directly feed into the NFU’s ongoing process to develop this policy proposal. \nPlease pre-register by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Terre de Liens - When Citizens Grow Farms
DESCRIPTION:  \n*le français suit \n\nFarmland Committee Speaker Series \n  \nPresented by: \nColine Sovran\, M.P.S.\, Advocacy Officer\, Terre de Liens \n  \n\nLearn how a social movement in France is ‘enabling citizens and peasants to take action on the ground’ through preserving farmland and facilitating access. \n\nAbout Terre de Liens: “[Terre de Liens is] a civic organization established to assist organic and peasant farmers in gaining access to land. The organization also promotes new ways to own and manage land as a common good. Terre de liens has created financial tools (a solidarity investment company and an endowment trust) to collect investment funds and donations\, and educational tools to inform the public and raise awareness about land access and agriculture. It now has a network of 2000 members and 8000 shareholders\, and owns 2400 hectares of farmland\, supporting about 200 farmers.” (Source: https://www.accesstoland.eu/-Terre-de-liens-) \n  \nThis session with guest speaker Coline from Terre de Liens is the first in a 2022 monthly workshop series put on by the NFU’s Farmland Committee. The goal of these sessions is to educate the membership and wider public on alternative land tenure possibilities\, as an initial step in a longer-term pursuit of implementing models to help address land access issues and implement food sovereignty. Join us on January 21st at 9am PST\, and stay tuned for our February session! After Coline’s presentation\, there will be plenty of time for a Q&A. The presentation will be in French\, with live translation into English. \n  \nJoin Us Online: \nFri.

L’organisation promouvoit également de nouvelles manières d’être propriétaires et de gérer la terre comme bien commun. Terre de liens a créé des outils financiers (une société d’investissements de solidarité et un fonds de dotation) de sorte à recueillir des fonds d’investissements et des donations\, ainsi que des outils pédagogiques pour informer le public et le sensibiliser quant à l’accès aux terres et à propos de l’agriculture. Il est maintenant devenu un réseau de 2000 membres et de 8000 intervenants ; il appartient 2400 hectares de terres agricoles\, qui soutiennent environ 200 fermiers. (Source: https://www.accesstoland.eu/-Terre-de-liens-) \n  \nCette session avec la conférencière invitée\, Coline\, de Terre de Liens\, est la première d’une série d’ateliers mensuels en 2022 organisée par le Comité sur les terres agricoles de l’UNF. Le but de ces sessions est d’éduquer les membres et le grand public sur les possibilités de régimes fonciers non traditionnels\, comme démarche initiale dans le cadre d’une quête à long-terme de faire la mise en œuvre des modèles visant à aborder les enjeux reliés à l’accès aux terres et mettre en œuvre la souveraineté alimentaire. Joignez-nous le 21 janvier\, à 9h00 HNP\, et restez à l’écoute pour notre session en février ! Suite à la présentation de Coline\, il y aura assez de temps pour une foire aux questions.

The National Farmers Union (NFU) continues to expose the issue and seek systemic change. In a recent press release; Grocery Prices are Rising and Farmers’ Share Declining as Corporate Processors and Retailers Take More and More\, the NFU states: “public data shows that corporate food processors and retailers have relentlessly\, for decades\, pushed up retail prices even as the prices paid to farmers remained largely stagnant.” Given the state of farm income further detailed in the Tackling the Farm Crisis and the Climate Crisis\, the NFU is convening three virtual conversations in Northern BC and the Yukon\, Northern Alberta\, and the Northwest Territories\, and the Atlantic provinces on the links between climate change\, income security\, and community resilience in partnership with the Green Resilience Project. \nWe want to invite you to an upcoming event in your community. \nDates & times: \n\nNorthern Alberta and the Northwest Territories: January 17 5:30 – 7:30 PM MST\nNorthern BC and the Yukon: January 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM MST\, 5:30 – 7:30 PM PST\nAtlantic provinces: January 20\, 5 – 7 PM AST\n\nWho: Farmers and farm workers from the above three regions (NFU members and non-members) \nPlease register to attend by filling out this google form. Thanks to funding and partnership with the Green Resilience Project\, we are able to offer participants a $50 honorarium for participation. We hope you’ll join us as we make farmers’ experiences heard. \nWhat is the Green Resilience Project? The Green Resilience Project was launched by a group of individuals and organizations working in climate change and income security\, who received funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Climate Action and Awareness Fund to organize a series of conversations on the links between climate change\, income security and community resilience in communities. Farmers can’t be left out of these policy discussions and decisions.
