Sustainable Futures Speaker Series

Humboldt State University Founders Hall

As part of the Sustainable Futures Speaker Series, Dr. Lindsay Naylor will present “Cultivating Sustainability: Seeds and Climate Change Adaptation in Highland Chiapas.” Corn is the mainstay of the diet and livelihood of indigenous farmers in Chiapas, Mexico, but yields are decreasing due to observed changes in climate. In this presentation Dr. Naylor will discuss the efforts to maintain subsistence corn farming by campesinos/as who are linked to the Zapatista and Las Abejas resistance movements. Participation in these social movements has created a network for action on climate change that extends through the different bioregions of Chiapas and even beyond the borders of Mexico. The Sustainable Futures Speaker Series is presented by the Environment & Community Graduate Program and the Schatz Energy Research Center. The presentation will take place Thursday, March 24, at 5:30 p.m. in Founders Hall 118 on the HSU campus.
