IAD Seminar: GMOs, Food Sovereignty, and the Future of Food in Ghana

Ghana

Wednesday, Nov15, 2023   2:30pm   G-08 Uris Hall   Register

Dr Joeva Sean Rock is an Assistant Professor in Development Studies, Department of Politics and International Studies and a fellow of Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge.
The seminar series for fall 2023 explores the future of African land, agriculture and food, digging into the contestations, conflicting and converging visions from a wide range of perspectives. How might land be used, valued and lived in, across cities, rural communities, forests, deserts and grasslands on the continent in the future? Who is proposing different visions of land futures in Africa, what are the histories, politics, socio-cultural, environmental and economic implications of these potential visions? In one of the regions with the most youthful populations, how are young people considering possible futures? What are ways that land, agriculture and food systems could be resilient, healthy, ecological, thriving and just? Can there be a decolonial agriculture and food future in Africa that celebrates Indigenous and local foodways?

Apply by Jan. 10: Undergraduate Global Scholars
