Abra Brynne on Place-based Food Systems and Decolonizing Farmland

My guest today is Abra Brynne. Abra’s not a farmer, but she comes from farmers, and early in her career she turned her passion for place-based food systems into a career dedicated to advocating and agitating for changes that would strengthen those systems. I’ve sat on a board or two with Abra, and I’ve chatted with her at various farming-related events over the last couple of years, and she is an Interesting Person, and so I’ve known for a while I wanted to interview her for the show. 

We talk about Abra's Ph.D research on decolonizing farmland. If you want to contact her about that, email Abra at abra.brynne@dal.ca
