Recipes for Resilience is asking how we can change our attitudes and food behaviours by learning from Afrodescendant and Indigenous agricultural and food practices.

We asked how we think about forests and gardens, and how these concepts as well as the practices of food production have been shaped historically.

Together with youths from the Caribbean, we discuss the differences between and the social, ecological, and economic impacts of different types of agriculture.

Central to our approach is the idea of the Plantationocene, which takes plantations and the global capitalist agrifood economy as the main driver of ecological and climatic change.

We want to explore what local and traditional knowledge can teach us about climate resilience and mitigation.

And we look at “old” and “alternative” methods of doing agriculture and consumption practices.
