This session will be a time to explore the role of fermentation in resilience building during conflicts and environmental crises and the political implications of food preservation techniques. We will uncover how this ancient practice not only sustains communities during times of scarcity but also fosters resilience in the face of adversity and shed light on the intricate web of power dynamics that shape access to and control over essential resources. Our special guest Aga Pokrywka joined featured speakers, Ali Akbar Mehta and Colin Greer, for this 3rd discussion of the series Ec(h)o Effect: Conversations on War & Environment, curated and moderated by Ines Montalvao from AwE.
