Alors que la contestation mondiale contre les herbicides à base de glyphosate s'intensifie et que les politiciens et les entreprises chimiques ajoutent leurs propres pressions concernant l'utilisation des pesticides, il est temps que tout le monde se penche davantage sur notre (sur)utilisation des intrants agricoles. Le terrain est toutefois complexe, comme nous l'expliquent Marie-Hélène Bacon et Laure Gosselin, invitées de cet épisode. Et ça l'est depuis des siècles, comme nous l'aide à comprendre Alexia Moyer dans son segment Amuse-Bouche, qui fait référence à une ressource historique assez révélateur. L'article phare de ce numéro est « Pesticides : Le Talon d'Achille des politiques alimentaires canadiennes et québécoises », tiré du vol. 5, n° 3 de La Revue canadienne des études sur l’alimentation.

Invités :

Dr Alexia Moyer est co-administratrice de La Revue canadienne des études sur l’alimentation et membre fondatrice du collectif éditorial red line-ligne rouge, basé à Montréal.

Marie-Hélène Bacon est chercheuse et coordinatrice au Collectif de recherche écosanté sur les pesticides, les politiques et les alternatives, un groupe interdisciplinaire de chercheurs à l'Université du Québec à Montréal.

Laure Gosselin est doctorante en sciences politiques à l'Université Laval (au Québec) et à la Technische Universität Dresden (en Allemagne), et chercheuse en systèmes alimentaires au sein du groupe Forum Recherche-Action Alimentaire Montréal au Collège Dawson.

Well-conceived and collectively enacted school food programs can bring numerous, cascading benefits to students, communities, and food environments more broadly. As Federal legislation brings into being such programs across Canada and Indigenous territories, ongoing research and reflection will be needed, as Rachel Engler-Stringer tells us in this episode. Starting things off, though, Alexia Moyer’s Amuse Bouche segment reveals a number of lessons—some more useful than others—from Saskatchewan’s early 1900s school food planning. And in the After Taste, Penelope Stam responds to the focus article, “The case for a Canadian national school food program” from Vol. 5 No. 3 of Canadian Food Studies.

Guests:

Dr. Alexia Moyer is co-Managing Editor of Canadian Food Studies and a founding member of the editorial collective, red line-ligne rouge, based in Montreal.

Rachel Engler-Stringer a professor in Community Health and Epidemiology at the University of Saskatchewan, and a leading expert in school food programs.

Penelope Stam is an undergraduate student at Western University and a food systems researcher with Food Research-Action Montreal at Dawson College.

Indigenous food sovereignty—and the lack thereof—is intimately linked to histories of colonial oppression and present-day exploitative capitalism and extractivism. Nonetheless, as this episode’s guest Kaylee Michnik shows us, rebuilding sovereignty can happen through intergeneration learning, land-based practices, and relationality. During the Amuse Bouche segment, Alexia Moyer tells host David Szanto about tasty and tenuous history of camas cultivation by Coast Salish peoples. And in the After Taste, Courtney Vaughan responds to Kaylee’s article, “Moving Your Body, Soul, and Heart to Share and Harvest Food” from Vol. 8 No. 2 of Canadian Food Studies.

Guests:

Dr. Alexia Moyer is co-Managing Editor of Canadian Food Studies and a founding member of the editorial collective, red line-ligne rouge, based in Montreal.

Kaylee Michnik is a registered dietician and is finishing her PhD at the University of Saskatchewan, where she has been researching and contributing to school food program and policy development.

Courtney Vaughan is a researcher, writer, and community organizer who completed a master degree at Carleton University in 2019 in Indigenous and Canadian Studies. She is currently doing her PhD at Lakehead University.
