This special episode was recorded as part of the 2017 University of Alberta Mountain Festival on December 6, 2017 in Edmonton.
Under this year’s United Nations’ theme for International Mountain Day, “Mountains Under Pressure: Climate, Hunger, and Migration”, the panel discusses some pressing issues that mountain communities face with regards to traditional foods and food security. Moderated by Roger Epp, contributions range from berries and beavers, adaptive food security strategies, and wildlife monitoring to the Dehcho K’ehodi (Taking Care of the Land) Guardian Program.
Participants: Norma Kassi, Robyn McLeod, Jim Schieck, and William Shotyk.
