From bringing awareness to the strengths that indigenous populations can draw on -- a long history of working with the land, strong agricultural traditions and ample land on reservations -- to engaging native youth in the food systems of their communities, A-dae covers it all.  Tune in to hear about: - How she and her colleagues at First Nations define agriculture a little differently - A-dae’s own journey from indigenous community, to law school, and back again - What A-dae hopes the future holds in terms of seaweed, abalone shells, acorns and the environment at large - How we can help support the existing systems within indigenous communities rather than imposing our own - What we can all learn from Native culture about food, agriculture and the environment
