Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 106: School Food Programs

https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2210715/

With the creation of Canada’s National School Food Program, myriad questions, challenges, and opportunities arise. Student success, cultural identity, food provisioning, and economics are all at play. As Rachel Engler-Stringer tells us in this episode, ongoing research and reflection will be needed.

First, Alexia Moyer’s Amuse Bouche segment reveals a number of lessons—some more useful than others—from Saskatchewan’s early 1900s school food planning. And in the After Taste, Penelope Stam responds to the focus article, “The case for a Canadian national school food program” (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v5i3.260) from Vol. 5 No. 3 of Canadian Food Studies.

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 105: Indigenous Food Sovereignty

Although Indigenous food sovereignty has been attacked and eroded by multiple histories of colonial oppression, rebuilding it can happen—through intergenerational learning, land-based practices, and relationality.

Kaylee Michnik, talks about her article, “Moving Your Body, Soul, and Heart to Share and Harvest Food” from Vol. 8, No. 2 of Canadian Food Studies (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v8i2.446), including the roles we all play in reconciliation & decolonization. Courtney Vaughan offers a response to the text and its challenges. Starting it off is Alexia Moyer’s account of the tasty and tenuous history of camas cultivation by Coast Salish peoples.

From the heart of continental advocacy to the farmlands and markets where change is being cultivated, AFSA’s latest Quarterly Newsletter (May to August 2025) captures a season of powerful action, bold voices, and strategic wins.

This edition documents how AFSA and its members are shaping Africa’s food future through landmark initiatives, from the trailblazing African Chefs’ Gathering in Addis Ababa to the release of bold policy briefs confronting the role of Development Finance Institutions in African agriculture. Whether advancing Farmer Managed Seed Systems, defending land rights, or taking agroecology to the negotiating tables of COP and CAADP, the newsletter offers a panoramic view of a movement in motion.

Inside, readers will find exclusive coverage of AFSA’s field dialogues across East Africa, a unified voice emerging from the Congo Basin, and the growing alliance of African journalists committed to rewriting food systems narratives. It also sheds light on how faith leaders, youth, and civil society are pushing back against extractive seed laws and pesticide exports, all while scaling agroecological enterprises and strengthening territorial markets.

With voices from Kampala to Dakar, and strategies rooted in sovereignty, biodiversity, and justice, this issue is a vital resource for anyone tracking the pulse of Africa’s agroecology movement. Published in both English and French, the newsletter is a call to engage, to amplify, and to act.
