I am from poem:

I am from the Olive tree,
From the plains,
and the Aegean Sea.
I am from tomatoes, abundant, life-giving, juicy.

From tree huggers,
From Carol,
and Gill
From Milkweed
and chamomile.

I am from the hoe,
harvesting,
potatoes,
brassica oleacea
and gathering.

Hi I am Christina and I am in my last term of an anthropology degree. I needed to take an upper level elective and this seemed like a great fit. I am very interested in food, indigenous cultures and Latin America. I am excited to learn more about indigenous groups on that continent and food practises! I spent a month on a permaculture farm on Mayan territory about 5 years ago where I worked alongside Mayan people and saw the little huts were they lived and learned a little about their way of life. I have also met some of the Mayan’s who work the Mayan garden at UBC farm!
