The USI Sustainability Scholars Program is accepting applications from graduate students for summer 2022. The Centre for Sustainable Food Systems (CSFS) currently has a project in the program, which involves working with Indigenous knowledge keepers. The project aims to support Indigenous terrestrial foodlands in the Fraser River Estuary by identifying and mapping Indigenous traditional terrestrial foodlands in the estuary; developing shoreline conservation and restoration strategies to steward and retain traditional foodlands in response to climate change-related impacts in the region; and considering a policy framework to support Indigenous food sovereignty and foodlands retention.

The CSFS project through the USI Sustainability Scholars Program is 2022-042. To view all the projects and to apply, visit: https://sustain.ubc.ca/teaching-applied-learning/sustainability-scholars-program/apply
