Indigenous Insights for Planetary Health and Sustainable Food Systems

Join Shailesh Shukla & Priscilla Settee to discuss their book: Indigenous Insights for Planetary Health and Sustainable Food Systems. Community-based case studies guide readers to understand the emergence, potential application, and renewal of Indigenous food systems and planetary health innovations and their role in supporting the well-being of their communities and lands and advancing the global vision of sustainable futures through interdisciplinary perspectives. Shailesh Shukla is a Chair and an Associate Professor at the Department of Indigenous Studies, University of Winnipeg. His teaching and research interests include exploring and promoting Indigenous perspectives and knowledge systems to improve food security, sovereignty, well-being, and planetary health in Canada and globally. Priscilla Settee is a member of Cumberland House Swampy Cree First Nations and Professor Emerita in the Department of Indigenous Studies at the University of Saskatchewan. She is recognized nationally and internationally as an award-winning professor, writer, and global activist. As this is a virtual event, we will not be selling copies of the book, but you can purchase it through the publisher’s website.
