LFS in the News
Jennifer Grenz was featured on CBC Radio’s Quirks & Quarks program about feeding the future: “When settlers arrived on our shores, you know, it looked like this great wilderness. But what they didn’t recognize is that they were looking at incredibly sophisticated food systems. These systems have been shaped since time immemorial to provide food, to provide medicines, to provide technology.” CBC |
