Eat, plant, drawdown! – CSU Lecture series, March 3, 2021
Some say eat, pray, love – we say eat, plant, drawdown!
As part of Colorado State University’s LA days lecture series March 3, 2021 | 5pm MST (4pm PST) , April Phillips will be presenting her research: Eat – plant – drawdown: why designing for climate matters. This is a free event open to all. https://scasla.agsci.colostate.edu/home/aprilphilips/
“Landscape architects must look at the hidden connections between climate adaptation, urban agriculture, food waste, community equity, and public health. There is a distinct advantage for designers and planners in gaining a deeper understanding of how climate positive solutions build community resilience, why systems thinking is key to solving the climate crisis, and why addressing the food landscape matters in shaping a more equitable and healthier, more nourished world.
April will explore the hidden connection between food waste, hunger and climate; ecological design and food shed planning principles through real world case studies and the tools available for landscape architects to shape climate and food policy”
