SUMMARY:Save Our Seed Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to everyone who attended and participated! Click here to view the PowerPoint presentation given at the webinar. \nAg Canada has launched consultations on proposals to increase seed royalties either by an End Point Royalty or with Trailing Contracts. The proposed royalty scheme would have farmers who use their own seed pay millions of dollars more to seed companies every year\, and make illegal the ancient practice of freely saving and reusing seed by creating new regulations under the Plant Breeders Rights Act. \nIn this webinar\, Terry Boehm\, Chair of the National Farmers Union Seed Committee and former NFU President\, will explain how the proposed royalty system would harm farmers\, citizens\, and society in general — and what we can do to stop this from happening. The webinar will also include a Question and Answer session. \nThis webinar will be held on the Zoom online meeting platform. If this is your first Zoom meeting\, please go to https://zoom.us/ and “sign up” at least 10 minutes before the meeting starts. If you are using your smart phone you may need to download the app before you join the meeting. \nJoin the webinar  \n\nBy computer or smart phone — click https://zoom.us/j/923097026.\nBy telephone — call 1 647 558 0588\, meeting ID is 923 097 026.\n\nPlease join the webinar by 1:00 PM Eastern Time. If you are outside of Ontario or Quebec\, adjust for your own time zone (see https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zone/canada for help) \nTo stay informed on the #SaveOurSeed campaign and farm saved seed royalty issues\, subscribe to the SOS Action Group.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Building solidarity with Indigenous peoples for food sovereignty
DESCRIPTION:The National Farmers Union’s 2019 Webinar Series on Indigenous Food Sovereignty and Settler-Colonialism in Canadian Agriculture  \nThe NFU invites all our members and allies to join a series of on-line discussions (“webinars”) on Indigenous food sovereignty and settler-colonialism in Canadian agriculture. The discussions will take place over the course of the winter and spring of 2019. \nThe first webinar will take place on-line on 27 February 2019 at 6:30 PM Eastern Time. We are very pleased to be welcoming Danielle Boissoneau and Adrianne Xavier. \nDanielle Boissoneau is Anishnaabe kwe writer\, mother and seedkeeper. She actively reclaims space on the land and in her mind for new ways of living. Decolonization through intentional practice of building relationships with the land\, with food and with the people is another way that she shares herself with the world. Danielle has shared her written words with Briarpatch Magazine\, GUTS Magazine\, as well as being a contributing writer to the Two Row Times. She grows her children and her food with love and power. \nAdrianne Lickers Xavier knows the power of food! As a predoctoral fellow at Queens University this year she is working to complete her doctoral education with research that centres on food security at her home community of Six Nations in southern Ontario. She has experience in community based grass roots food as well as work in the larger food movement. Adrianne’s research integrates food security\, culture\, community building and gender and believes that individuals make the difference. \nPurpose of the webinar series: The NFU has a firm commitment to building relationships of solidarity with Indigenous peoples in Canada. We hope this webinar will: \n\nDeepen our understanding of on-going settler colonialism in Canada from the perspective of Indigenous peoples who are the experts of their own histories and experiences;\nBuild relationships based on shared interests in food sovereignty and acknowledgement of differences;\nDiscuss pathways for solidarity and joint action between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to challenge settler-colonialism in the food system and contribute to building food sovereignty for all.\n\nThis webinar will be held on the Zoom online meeting platform. \nJoin the meeting by computer or smart phone by clicking https://zoom.us/j/195771300 . If you do not have access to a computer or smart phone\, you can call  in.  If you have a long distance plan\, please call 1 647 558 0588\, if not you may call the toll free number 1 855 703 8985. The call-in Meeting ID is 195 771 300. If you are using your smart phone for a Zoom meeting for the first time you will need to download the app (available from the App store or Play store) before you join the meeting. \nPlease join the webinar by 6:30 PM Eastern Time.
