Post-Conference Field Trip:
Working within the Food Landscape, Responding to the Challenge of Climate Change
HfE Global Leadership Meeting
September 5-7, 2022
Venue: Smangus, Cinsbu and Tbahu Tayal Villages
A Walking Workshop Held in the “Millet Ark” Mountains
Organized by Dr. Yih-ren Lin, the arrangement of the workshop is to share the encouraging experiences of Indigenous Tayal women’s testimony to respond to the crisis of climate change. The walking workshop is a way of engaging with the experiences of local people. Rather than sitting in the meeting room to hear the seminars, this attempt is made to guide you into the field and witness the practical work through your own eyes, ears and feet. It would also be a gathering for celebrating with local people and reflections on our race’s careless attitude towards the planet.
The “Millet Ark” is an action initiated by indigenous Tayal women to preserve the language, culture and biological varieties of millet. Millet is the traditional staple food of indigenous peoples and has been cultivated over 100 varieties in Taiwan. In the millet garden, traditionally Tayal people also grow other crops like yam, beans and corn, etc.. In other words, millet becomes a flagship species to lead and include other crops in the realm of their home garden. However, this kind of traditional life has been changed drastically by the process of modernization and replaced by cash crops like tomato, tea and vegetables which then become so vulnerable under the impact of climate change. In the workshop, we will experience their changing livelihood and listen to the stories of how they regain their food sovereignty through re-growing traditional crops and mapping out their natural resources in their traditional territory. Tayal is the third largest people of the indigenous in Taiwan and mainly distributed in the middle and northern parts of Taiwan. The place we will visit is located in the Jienshi District of Hsinchu County.
HFE Global Leadership Meeting
Beside the walking workshops, the annual meeting of Directors of HfE will take place in the middle of the pre-conference field trip as a panel session. Nine Directors from around the world from different continents will discuss what they may accomplish as humanists contributing at both local and global scales to intervene on behalf of people, place, and planet.
Goals
(1) Providing an innovative workshop for reflections on women's vital position in food cultures
(2) Responding to the crisis of global climate change from the daily life
(3) Bridging indigenous vision and action for caring the earth
