The Sustainabili-Tea-Time podcast hosted by the University of Victoria Sustainability Project is recorded on Lekwungen and SENĆOŦEN speaking lands, known as the lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees), Xwsepsum (Esquimalt), and WSÁNEĆ (Saanich) sovereign nations. We are a student-led and student-funded organization dedicated to advocating for intersectional sustainability on and off-campus.

Join Anne-Marie, Ellie, and Syd as they delve into the complicated and disconnected relationship with food and growing food. Syd is a community outreach leader and in-house land-based gardener at the University of Victoria Campus Community Garden. The garden helps students, faculty, and staff bridge and close the barriers to growing groceries on Lekwungen-speaking and WSÁNEĆ territories. The conversation broaches our collective disconnection as settlers in an urban area with food systems, food culture, and traditional land-based harvesting methods. The co-hosts discuss the destructive aspects within our food systems, such as colonialism, white supremacy, linear economic policy, and capitalism. The episode is the second part of a discussion that centres decolonization and land-back as an essential part of Indigenous food sovereignty.
