Blog Statement:
Through out the course of this spring quarter, the students of ANTH/AES/ENVIR 211 have been exposed to concepts such as TEK (Traditional Environmental Knowledge) and alterNative methods of production. These concepts have opened up a new realm of thinking where nature as the 'other' is re-conceptualized and rather though of as 'one' with humans in a more biocentric rather than an anthropocentric environment. Living in a very industrial environment ruled by a capitalist system, our group feels that overall knowledge about traditional customs of growing foods are very much lacking. Therefore, our group has set out to provide a more holistic perspective for what it means to grow one's own foods. Group members will embark on conducting: interviews with local food growers, research on how to grow one's own foods, and finding the techniques particular communities use in growing their own produce. Group members will also include contributions pertaining to environmental issues and the Environmental Justice Movement in general.
