June 20, 2018 at 12:15, the Centre for Sustainable Development, Climate Reality Project Canada and City of Montréal will be hosting the conference From Brazil to Montreal: Best Practices in Urban Agriculture organized as part of our Lunch & Learn conferences during the ICLEI World Congress 2018.
Don't miss this opportunity to discover the best practices in urban agriculture in Brazil and Montreal with Evelyn R. Nimmo, PhD (Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, Brazil) and Gaëlle Janvier (Alternatives, Montréal). They will discuss about the present barriers and opportunities to multiplying urban food production and increasing local food security in Canadian and Brazilian contexts.
Urban agriculture can shorten supply chains and reduce the distance from farm to plate. Both of these actions play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from cities. Done right, it also has the potential to build community and strengthen social fabric.
The lecture will be followed by question and answer with the audience.
