Stó:lo Indigenous Foodways Co-Lab: Exploring the Relationship Between Agri-food Transitions and Resurgence (part of the Just Transitions in Food Systems Network)

The Stó:lo Indigenous Foodways Co-Lab (part of the Just Transitions in Food Systems Network) is a community-based research project examining the relationship agri-food transitions and traditional food systems resurgence in the context of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia Canada. This project will create a dialogue space to raise and address questions about what changes in the food system today mean for Stó:lo communities and their traditional food practices. Guided by community leaders, we will implement a Circles of Engagement model for understanding how changes in the food system, including land use changes and new technologies, present opportunities or barriers to Stó:lo foodways resurgence.
