Hitting the Road… Traveling West

On Saturday, June 21, Colin Anderson will be traveling across Western Canada to interview, video and learn from farmers, farm leaders and community activists engaged in alternative ways of moving food from farm to fork. This 12 day tour will take Colin along with his research partner Dave Vasey through Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. This string of interviews is a part of a larger video/action research project that will ultimately result in the development of a 45 minute documentary research video about grassroots solutions to the farm/food crisis.

Video Project Announced

We have received funding to produce a documentary video on local food initiatives across Western Canada that will focus on local solutions to the global food crisis.  The funding was provided by the SSHRC Linking, Learning, Leveraging project facilitated locally by the Winnipeg Inner City Research alliance.
