SUMMARY:Food Relatives: Decolonizing and Indigenizing the Global Food System
DESCRIPTION:The term “Food Relatives” signals to the alternative and Indigenous food systems that view food as more than a commodity. As a generative category and notion\, Food Relatives gives insight into how various actors can decolonize and indigenize their respective Food Systems by attuning to the more-than-human as part of economic\, social\, and political lives. \nRegister in advance! \nFor Day 1 registration\, click here. ONLINE \nFor Day 2 registration\, click here. IN-PERSON at UC Berkeley \nThe conference’s main goal will be to connect scholars\, community members\, artists\, and policy makers through varying critiques and discussions of three major systems of oppression in the global Food System: colonization\, heteropatriarchy\, and capitalism. In doing so\, the Food Relatives conference will give focus on alternative food relations outside of Industrial agricultural practices in order to amplify existing decolonizing and indigenizing movements that may improve Food Systems across all Global Directions\, such as Indigenous and Black stewardship\, alternative food systems\, and sustainable ecologies. \nQuestions for discussion at the Food Relatives conference may include: \n\nHow have Indigenous relationships with food and land changed in response to and as a result of colonization?\nHow are discussions of Food Security\, Food Justice\, and Food Sovereignty valuing the more-than human?\nHow do different disciplines tackle food system questions? What analyses are centered\, or silenced\, in these discussions?\nWhat can an improved relationship with food and non-humans look like? How may that impact human and non-human health?\nHow have Indigenous and other historically marginalized peoples used food and land to resist colonization and exercise agency over their health\, cultural practices\, and social empowerment?\n\nRegistration for the Food Relatives conference will be free to all participants and attendees. \nThis conference is organized by the Food Institute Graduate Council (FIGC) at Berkeley\, and sponsored by the Berkeley Food Institute (BFI)\, the Graduate Assembly (GA)\, the Native American Studies center\, the Latinx Research Center\, and the Multicultural Community Center (MCC). Inquiries to FIGC can be made via: contact@figc.berkeley.edu \nFollow us on Instagram and our Facebook event!

SUMMARY:Impact Week Conference 2022: The Future of LA
DESCRIPTION:Impact Week 2022 will focus on the future of Los Angeles by examining what our extraordinarily diverse city looks like right now. We will consider the factors contributing to the life experience — and disparities — in L.A. and discuss how different sectors interconnect. We will examine the built environment\, inequitable food access\, public green spaces\, the mayor’s Sustainable City Plan \, the burgeoning tech economy of Silicon Beach\, improvements in public transit alongside skyrocketing real estate prices\, growing numbers of unhoused people and soaring temperatures amid worsening drought. \nIn six years\, the world will be watching when Los Angeles takes center stage as host of the 2028 Summer Olympics. Will the city present itself as a thriving and healthy metropolis? How will the city showcase its willingness to innovate and incorporate diverse thoughts to create social action? Which local corporations are seeding positive changes now that will sow benefits come 2028? \nTo attempt to answer those questions and inspire discussion\, we will hear from a range of panelists and keynote speakers from both the private and public sectors. We seek change-makers from the grassroots level to the heights of industry who recognize UCLA’s research\, education and service missions as crucial to the future of our region. By examining different L.A. neighborhoods\, Impact Week 2022 will train a lens on the business solutions best poised to improve the social determinants of health for Los Angelenos. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:AI Earth Summit 2022
DESCRIPTION:As the cycle of climate tech innovation and investment accelerates\, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning will continue to play a growing role in sustainable development. Join us for an engaging and inspiring day of conversations and collaboration centered around the planet and our technology’s place within it. This year’s Earth Summit will be hybrid—the first time in-person activities are returning since 2019’s event—there are even greater opportunities to collaborate with fellow sustainability-driven minds across the Southern California region and beyond. \nIn mid-March\, AI LA kicked off an Open Innovation Challenge with LA County to invite geospatial scientists\, machine learning engineers\, and designers to build teams to solve a high-priority problem in LA County involving invasive pests destroying our trees. Teams are currently using satellite imagery to develop an alert system that could be used by LA County and other regions that are battling this growing issue of invasive pests killing our trees. During AI LA’s Earth Summit\, teams will present their solutions and compete to win a $10\,000 grant\, office hours with Starburst Aerospace\, free corporate services with Wilson Sonsini\, and other ecosystem support. \nMeanwhile\, speaker panels at Earth Summit ranging from sustainable aerospace innovation to climate tech investment will inspire further conversations. LA County Board Supervisors Kuehl and Solis will be providing opening remarks about AI LA’s Open Innovation Challenge. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Saging The World Premiere
DESCRIPTION:“Saging” has become common in movies\, TV shows\, social media\, and cleansing rituals –people burning sage bundles in the hope of purifying space and clearing bad energy. Instead of healing\, the appropriated use of saging in popular culture is having a harmful effect. Indigenous communities have tended a relationship with white sage for thousands of generations. White sage (Salvia apiana) only occurs in southern California and northern Baja California\, Mexico. Today\, poachers are stealing metric tons of this plant from the wild to supply international demand. Saging the World spotlights the ecological and cultural issues intertwined with white sage\, centering the voices of Native advocates who have long protected and cherished this plant. \nJoin us for the world premiere of Saging the World on Earth Day\, Friday\, April 22 at the Warner Grand Theatre is San Pedro. The screening will include a panel discussion with Native advocates from the film\, as well as a white sage plant giveaway. \nREGISTER HERE \nThe short documentary was produced by Rose Ramirez\, Deborah Small\, and the California Native Plant Society to foster awareness and inspire action for white sage. This Earth Day\, go from smudging to seeding as we come together to see plants not just as “resources\,” but as “relationships.” For more information on the documentary and campaign\, visit cnps.org/sagingtheworld. \nGuests are required to show proof of vaccination\, a negative PCR test within 48 hours\, or a negative antigen test within 24 hours. CNPS is requiring all guests to wear a mask during the event and is offering fewer tickets than the capacity of the theatre to provide additional spacing. COVID protocols are subject to change per local\, state\, and federal guidelines. \nCo-sponsored by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and the South Coast Chapter of CNPS.
