Regenerating Life Part 3
October 26, 2023 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
This Thursday, October 26 at 7pm, at the Bayshore Community Centre, OSFN presents Dr. Thorsten Arnold with part 3 of the new film Regenerating Life, by John Feldman.
Included after the film segment, will be a Q&A, as well as a panel discussion about opportunities in agriculture, as well as barriers. Special Guest Panelists will include Amanda Klarer from Regeneration Canada, plus Brenda Hsueh from Farmers for Climate Solutions, and Kristine Hammel from Eat Local Grey Bruce.
Although this presentation should be of interest to everyone, we especially wish to invite the local farming population, and those who are engaged in agricultural support services too.
For best results we encourage attending this event, in person, at the Bayshore Community Centre, in Owen Sound.
However, we will also do our best to offer the presentation virtually as a webinar, via zoom. To receive a zoom link, please send an email, in advance, to web@osfn.ca with “regenerating” in the subject line. Please note – OSFN members have been sent a link via e-Herald.
About the film’s Part 3:
Part 3 of Regenerating Life addresses the following:
How to stop the main degradation and make our food system regenerative – small-scale farmers around the world are fighting to regenerate landscapes by producing food agro ecologically, to preserve biodiversity and restore nature’s ability to self regulate its climate. The third part is mostly around how to stop killing the biosphere, and the main need is in changing our food system toward “farming in partnership with nature” – small-scale ecological farming. Globally, this already is providing 70% of all foods-
The film’s Director, John Feldman never intended to talk about agriculture, but said that it makes no sense to talk about living landscapes/biodiversity WITHOUT talking about agriculture. Our treatment of the living landscape is the unnecessary tragedy of humankind…
OSFN Indoor Meetings are normally held on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Bayshore Community Centre, 1900 3rd Ave E Owen Sound. There are no Indoor Meetings in July and August. Please see the individual event listings below for more details.
We invite speakers with a wide range of expertise from Grey/Bruce and other parts of the province. These evenings are open to the public. The auditorium is open by 6:30. The meeting gets under way at 7:00, and may include brief announcements by other organizations as well as OSFN club activities, club business, social time, nature sightings and reports.
The club also offers a full schedule of outdoor activities during the year. Through these outings, members learn more about the birds, plants, mammals and geology of this part of Ontario. We also keep a protective eye on our precious natural areas.
