Spring is an exciting time for many food lovers as it marks the beginning of the growing season and access to local, seasonal foods. We are lucky to have access to an abundance of wild and farmed foods, but each type of food comes with its own set of benefits and challenges. In this episode of Deep Dish Dialogues, we will discuss the difference between wild and farmed food by exploring the impacts to flavour, nutrition and access. We’ll also discuss how colonization and domestication of our agricultural systems have impacted Indigenous food systems and access to wild foods. Throughout the event Chef Kimberly Moser will prepare a special dish of braised bison with a wild rice mushroom pilaf and fiddleheads. She will be joined by Nykole Crevits from Noki Farms as well as researcher and Arrell Scholar, Rosemary Brockett. Register now to attend this event in-person at the Anita Stewart Memorial Food Lab at the University of Guelph or tune in online on Thursday, May 25 from 12 to 1 p.m.
