Leave no one behind.\u00a0We will explore historical roots and stories of change in British Columbia and beyond as we look to a more nourishing future from land to sea.<\/p>\n Water is essential to life on Earth. It covers the majority of the Earth\u2019s surface, makes up over 50 percent of our bodies, produces our food, and supports our livelihoods. But this precious resource is not infinite and is impacted by unsustainable food and agriculture systems.<\/p>\n The event will be free <\/u><\/strong>to livestream<\/u><\/strong>, with stakeholders that include United Nations leadership, the non-profit community, policymakers, journalists, food businesses, the academic community, farmers, activists, individuals with lived experiences, and the funding and donor community.\u00a0This unified approach aims to have a significant impact as we move towards the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai.<\/p>\n This event is presented by the FAO Food and Agriculture Program of the United Nations North America, Food Tank, Driscoll\u2019s, WholeChain, UBC and SFU, in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the University of Guelph and the Forum for Farmers and Food Security.<\/em><\/p>\n World Food Day Event Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n Date: Monday, October 16, 2023 Livestream Tickets (no code needed):<\/strong><\/p>\n Livestream access to the event is free and open to everyone.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/world-food-day-2023-official-event-water-is-life-oct-16-tickets-680230476667?aff=oddtdtcreator<\/a><\/p>\n ++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n Karen\u00a0Lee<\/strong>\u00a0(She, Her, Hers<\/a>) Dear LFS Graduate Students, You are invited to attend a livestream:\u00a0 World Food Day 2023 (Official Event): Water is Life.
