SUMMARY:Veganic Gardening Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This is the 3rd workshop of our 2018 series. Each workshop can be taken as a stand-alone or as part of the series. We will speak about planning for winter\, cover cropping and overwintering crops. \nMatt Loisel\, long-time veganic gardener and founder of Lazy Millennial Farms\, teaches how to start and maintain a healthy garden and grow our own food organically\, without using the animal inputs commonly used in organics such as manure\, blood or bonemeal. Gardening without synthetic or animal fertilizers is the most resource-efficient\, sustainable and compassionate way to go about it and easy to boot. \nA $15 donation is suggested; nobody is turned away for lack of funds. \nLight vegan snacks are provided. Please bring a water bottle to reduce waste. \nPlease arrive by 1:50 so that the workshops can start promptly at 2pm. \nThese workshops take place in a garden with generous plum trees\, so expect that the bench you sit on will have some dried plum juice. We suggest you wear clothes that you do not mind getting dirty and/or bring a newspaper to cover your seat. \n************************* \nGardening in the spaces that are available to us\, be it a small plot in a community garden\, a rooftop\, a balcony or a front yard\, is an important step in improving access to healthy foods\, beautifying and nurturing our environments\, and building community resiliency. Seed the Commons is delighted to support our community by offering gardening workshops three times a year. \n*************************

SUMMARY:Veganic For Climate: Panel and Reception
DESCRIPTION:As San Francisco gears up for the Global Climate Action Summit\, Seed the Commons has launched #Veganic4Climate\, a campaign that aims to center agriculture in the conversation on global warming and promote veganic farming as the basis of a climate-friendly food system. Join us as we present our campaign and speak of the why and how of veganic farming. The evening will include a panel with Nassim Nobari\, Chema Hernández Gil and Mona Seymour\, followed by a free vegan reception. \nPROGRAM \n6:30 Doors open. No admission after 7:30PM\n \n6:45-7:00PM Welcome and Presentation of #Veganic4Climate \n7:00-8:30PM Panel \n7:00PM The Rise of Animal Agriculture Advocacy in the Environmental Movement\n7:20PM Building Equity\, Fighting Climate Change with Lessons from the Milpa\n7:40PM Moving Veganic Agriculture Forward in the United States\n8:00PM Q&A \n8:30-9:30PM Reception with light vegan refreshments \nThis event is free\, but donations are welcome to cover our costs and support the #Veganic4Climate campaign. Axiom pizza will also serve vegan pizza with a suggested donation to help raise funds. \nSPEAKERS \nNassim Nobari is a co-founder of Seed the Commons. She will speak about why the environmental movement promotes small-scale animal agriculture\, focusing in particular on the current trend that touts grazing as a solution to climate change\, and she will show how these models reproduce some of the same problems they purport to solve. \nChema Hernández Gil is a co-founder of Seed the Commons. He will look towards pre-Columbian Mexico to reflect on how a food system based on vegan agroecological practices can help build our vision for tomorrow: urban societies that are equitable and sustainable. \nMona Seymour is a professor of Environmental Science at Loyola Marymount University. She will speak of the state of veganic farming in the United States and how to help the veganic movement grow. \n

SUMMARY:Berkeley Earth Day
DESCRIPTION:Berkeley Earth Day is a free and festive event with music\, vegan food and great speakers\, including the Mayor of Berkeley\, Jesse Arreguin. Berkeley Earth Day is also hosting the Wild and Scenic Film Festival this year (tickets are separate). \nSeed the Commons will be tabling all day\, drop by and talk to us about building the food movement\, veganic agriculture\, climate activism and more. \nNassim Nobari will speak at 3:40\, see her talk description below. \nOrganizing for a Climate-Friendly Food System in the Bay Area \nTo address the climate crisis\, it is urgent that humanity shift from conventional agriculture to methods of growing food that support biodiversity\, regenerate soils and use less resources. Unfortunately\, in promoting organic\, agroecological and regenerative agriculture\, the environmental movement has largely defaulted to animal-based models. As holistic grazing and grass-fed beef gain popularity\, they have cemented a false dichotomy between sustainable farming and veganism. Nassim will explore the cultural appeal of small-scale animal agriculture and its limits in addressing today’s environmental problems\, and she will share her experiences promoting plant-based agroecology. She will speak about how we can turn the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco this September into an opportunity to mobilize civil society and build a movement for a truly climate-friendly food system.

SUMMARY:Exploring Justice Along the Food Chain: A Vegetable Tamale Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A couple years ago for Cesar Chavez Day\, Seed the Commons developed a vegan tamale workshop that explores social justice along the food chain.

It will be slightly modified as it will be a demo\, and not a workshop\, but it will still be informative and fun. If you’re in SoCal\, don’t miss it! \nFacebook event. \nThe event is free but RSVP is required.\nIt is co-sponsored by\nUCLA Food Studies\nUCLA Center for Mexican Studies\nUCLA Department of World Arts and Culture\nUCLA Mildred E.

SUMMARY:Changing the World Through Food Systems: A Call for Radical Food Activism
DESCRIPTION:Seed the Commons director Nassim Nobari will speak of the importance of grassroots activism to reclaim our food systems from corporate control\, while offering a critique of the food movement’s celebration of animal husbandry and the increased popularity of grazing. These stem from a Eurocentric worldview that sees the absence of farm animals as an inherent lack\, and reproduce colonial dynamics. She invites us to view plant-based food systems as vibrant\, dynamic and wholly sufficient\, and will speak of the promotion of veganic farming as key for social justice and animal liberation. \nThis talk is free\, open to the public and followed by a reception–if you’re in SoCal\, let’s talk about changing the world! \nVenue: UCLA Glorya Kaufman Hall\, Glorya Kaufman Dance Theater (Room 208)

SUMMARY:World School Milk Day Counter-Celebration
DESCRIPTION:For the first time ever\, World School Milk Day will be met with a counter-celebration. Join us for a celebration of the abundance of wholesome foods that exists in nature and in various food cultures.

In contrast\, ours will be a true celebration of health and abundance. \nOur Counter-Celebration will be a fun full-day event with speakers covering topics such as school meal policy\, the globalization of milk\, how to raise healthy children with plant-based foods\, and more.
