Cultivating Change: Community Food Security and Participatory Mapping

I am a graduate student in the Center for Social, Spatial and Economic Justice at UBC-Okanagan. I am researching how community mapping and multimedia tools engage the public on climate change and community food security. Ultimately, this research project seeks to mobilize farmers’, processors, food activists and local citizens to strength the regional food system in the North Okanagan. This blog is an informal site set-up to post my thoughts, findings and information on my experience.

Food in My Neigbourhood

Pamela Tudge
I have recently moved to Montreal, QC from BC, where I lived in the North Okanagan, Vancouver Island and Metro Vancouver regions studying local food systems, culture & sustainable communities. Primarily, I am interested in the intersection of environmental and social justice issues. I feel, that food is a focal link across land, people, & communities. Through food, we can begin to engage in real initiatives to address societal injustices and environmental degradation. How do we do that? Know, Support and Access your local food production system to start. Where I have lived, that maybe the local dairy, rancher, or orchardist. On the island, that was the prawner, fisherman, and seaweed cultivator along side the berries in my backyard. Here in Montreal, that is the farmer connecting with urbanites, open market stalls with friendly faces, and the small family run grocery stores who carry food items from local purveyors. If you take a moment, inspiring connections to our food exist everywhere. What’s yours?
