From God’s garden. <\/span><\/p>\n

My name is Fernanda D\u00edaz-Osorio (She\/her\/hers). I was born and raised in Oaxaca, Mexico<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Growing up, I had lunch almost daily at my parents’ restaurants. I think that experience, without me realizing it, made me want to better understand the food systems.<\/p>\n

In 8th grade, I lived in a boarding school in Switzerland<\/strong><\/span> and in 11th grade in Haute Normandie, France.<\/strong><\/span> One of the things I remember the most about both experiences is the food<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am a senior student in the faculty of Land and Food Systems in the Global Resource Systems (GRS) program<\/strong>.<\/span> I am a soil lover, and I enjoy Econ classes. My GRS program allowed me to learn first hand from different farmers. I love spending time at the UBC Farm and visiting farms in British Columbia.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/strong> Two summers ago, I took an Agroecology program and worked on a lamb farm in Lyon, France.<\/strong><\/span> My time on the farm made me want to learn more about food systems directly from the producers. Last summer, to keep learning,\u00a0 I decided to do some volunteering on a farm-cooperative in Belgium.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I am in love with my GRS program. It has allowed me to acquire a solid scientific foundation while exploring my interests from a more holistic approach, taking classes from across all faculties. While I have studied European food systems for the last couple of years, I realized I had not taken the time to explore, academically, Latin American food systems. That is why I ended up here.<\/strong><\/span> I was browsing my SSC, and I found this class. I read the description and felt like it was written for me (obviously it wasn’t).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am very excited to keep learning about food from Dr. Mitchell and from all of you.<\/p>\n
