Digesting Food Studies—Episode 115: Fisheries Diversification
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2477576/

Diversification is a survival strategy in many food systems, from biomes to economies to cuisine. This episode is about many of those things, including green sea urchins and the Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk First Nation’s approach to fisheries and food-making.

The article in focus is Charlotte Gagnon-Lewis’s “Fishing amongst industrial ghosts: The challenges of green sea urchin diversification in Eastern Canada.” (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v12i1.680)

Plus, Alexia Moyer shares a story from the Montréal Biodome, and master student Adelle D’Urzo Paugh responds to Charlotte’s article with reflections on participatory co-learning and the Capitalocene.
