This seminar will explore the biological diversity that enables sustainable food systems and healthy communities. This biodiversity, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms across ecosystems, is critical to clean water, fertile soils, pollination, stable climate, and nutritional and cultural diversity. This biodiversity is also at risk of extinction, largely due to food production practices that rely on monocultures of single species over large tracts of land and water. The consequences of this transformation have led to multiple negative climate and health impacts, especially for rural and marginalized communities.

Drawing on the expertise of guest speakers throughout the quarter, this seminar will dig into topics such as traditional and biodiverse food systems, soil biology, and agroecological communities that nourish humanity. Each topic will connect with food systems more broadly, as well as opportunities for reverence and reflecting on how to live in harmony with the systems that support humanity and life on Earth.
