Global Health Week: Andean Civilization Contributions to Food Sovereignty, Sustainable Diets and Climate Change Resilience
Monday, November 1, 2021 4 PM
About this Event
Sponsored in partnership with the Kathryn M. Buder Center, the Washington University Climate Change Program Speaker Series, and Institute for Public Health and its Global Health Center.
We present four case studies of present-day communities that are keepers of systems of knowledge, a deep embeddedness to Mother Earth, and ancestral technologies with the potential to uphold sustainable agri-food systems and to promote climate change resilience. This talk offers an illustration on how indigenous civilizations could offer alternative pathways to heal Mother Earth and co-build a sustainable future.
Global Health Week is a Washington University-wide initiative to engage multiple schools in global health topics, organized by the Institute for Public Health, Global Health Center and its Global Health Student Advisory Committee, Arts & Sciences, Brown School, McKelvey School of Engineering, Olin Business School, and School of Medicine.
