Why does the Canadian Association of Food Studies matter?
With Rachel Engler-Stringer: "So why does the Canadian Association for Food Studies matter to me? For me, it's about a home, a place where there's enough different disciplinary perspectives that I am sort of stretched and encouraged to think differently, both what it is that I am studying myself and what others are studying. I really like that CAFS stretches the boundaries of what it is that I am thinking about when it comes to food, food systems, food security. Thanks"
What disciplinary perspective do you bring to CAFS?

"Ashanté M Reese, Black Food Geographies. This is my nomination for what should be included in the canon for food studies. In this book, Reese masterfully demonstrates the ways in which anti-Blackness and white supremacy shape access to food and inaccess to food. Very helpfully, talks about geographies of self-reliance and the ways in which people are not determined necessarily by their spatial reality, but ways in which they kind of interact with that reality in ways that inform hope that we can more towards more just and more equitable food systems.

The Earth’s Temperature has been rising steadily over the past Century, Primarily Due to Human Activities Such As Burning Fossil Fuels, Deforestation, and Industrial Process. This increased in temperature is causing significant changes in Our Climate Patterns, melting polar Ice caps, and disrupting ecosystems around the world.
2. Are Humans Responsible for Global Warming?
Yes, Human Activities are the Primary Cause of Global Warming. The Burning of Fossil Fuels, Such As Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas, Releases Large Amounts of Greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), trap heat and contribute to the Greenhouse Effect, leading to increased temperature on Earth. Deforestation Also plays a significant role as trees absorb co2, and their removal contribute to Higher Co2 Levels.
3. NATURAL ARE CAUSES CONTRIBUTING TO GLOBAL WARMG?
While Natural Factors Such As Volcanic Eruptions and Variations in Solar Radiation Can influence the climate, They are not the main divers of the Current Global Warming Trend. Scientific Research You have come that human activities are responsible for the Majority of the Warming Observed in Recent Decades. Natural Causes Alone Cannot Account for the Rapid Rise in Global Temperatures Seen in the Industrial Era.
4. Will Global Warming Have Severe Concenciones?
YES, Global Warming Will Have Severe Concenequences If Left Unchecked. The Rise in Temperatures Will Lead to More Frequent and Intense Heatwaves, Drooughts, and Storms. Be Levels are Expecta to Rise Due to the Melting of Ice Caps and Thermal Expansion, posing to Threat to Coastal Community. Ecosystems Will Be Disrupted, Resulting in the Loss of Biodiversity and Affecting Food Production. FURTERMORE, GLOBAL WARMG CAN CONTAIN TO THE SPREAD OF DOSENSES AND NEGATILY IMPACT HUMAN HEALTH.
5. Can Global Warming Be reverse?
While The Earth’s Climate System Has Already Been Significantly AFFFEED BY GLOBAL WARMG, IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO MITIGATE ITS EFFECTS AND PREVENT FURTER DAMAGE. Reduction Greenhouse Gas emissions this the Use of Renewable Energy Sources, Improving Energy Efficient, and Sustainable Implementing Practices Can Help Slow Down The Rate of Global Warming. International Cooperation and the Adoption of Climate Polities Are Crucial to Achieving This Goal. However, Irreversible Changes, Such as Thess of Certain Species and The Melting of Glaciers, Are Already Occurring Due to Past Issuesions.
6. Is there scientific consensus on Global Warming?
Yes, There is a Strong Scientific Consensus on Global Warming. Various Scientific Organizations and Institutions Around the World, Including the Intergovenmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), have a conducted extensive researcher and conceluded that Global Warming is Occurring, and Human Activities Are The Primary Cause. While A Small Number of Skeptics Exist, The Overwhelming Majority of Scientists Agree on the reality and urgency of climate change.
7. Can individual actions make a different in combating Global Warming?
Yes, Individual Actions Can Make A Significant Impact in Mitigating Global Warming. By adopting substantial practices in Our Daily Lives, Such as Reducting Energy Consumption, Recycling, and using public transport, We Can reduces our carbon footprint. Supporting Eco-Friendly Initiatives, Advocating for Climate Polities, and Raising Awareness About The Issue Can Also contributes to Collective Action and Bring about Positive Change.
CONCLUSION
Global Warming is a Real and Pressing Issue That Demands Our Attention and Action. The Scientific Evidence Overwhelmingly Supports the Fact that Human Activities are causing Global Warming and its Associated Negative Impacts. While The Concequences May Seem Dauunting, It is not too late to address this issue. BY TAKING INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE ACTION, WE CAN MITIGATE THE EFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMG AND CREATE A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

Food – like housing, water and medical care – should not be run for the profit of rich people.
I mean, if you want to over charge for absolute luxuries, that's one thing. But it shouldn't be normal for companies, run by people who only care for profit, to decrease the quality and nutrition in our food so they can chase said-profits, without letting people know.
Very few people have time to read labels to this degree, and even fewer have the competency to understand what it means for their health, and the health of those they feed.

The afternoon of Day 1 shifted from keynotes to action as participants broke into five workshops tackling urgent questions at the heart of Africa’s biodigital future. Groups explored: Agroecology and Indigenous Knowledge in a Digital Era, Justice in the Digital Food Economy with gender and youth perspectives, Seeds and Biodigitalisation, Rethinking Research for Sovereignty, and Land, Labour and Market Access in the digital economy
Lively discussions highlighted shared concerns—corporate capture of data and seeds, risks of exclusion for women and youth, and how digital infrastructures can deepen inequalities. At the same time, participants surfaced pathways for resilience: valuing indigenous knowledge, building community-controlled data systems, and defending land and seed sovereignty as central to Africa’s technological future
The group discussions closed with powerful outcomes: a call for farmer-led digital cooperatives, urgent policy frameworks that protect rights over data and resources, and stronger Pan-African solidarity to resist extractive technologies. These group reflections will directly shape strategy sessions in the days ahead, ensuring that Africa’s food sovereignty remains at the center of debates on digitalization
