"Culture" in Agriculture | Community Jameel x afikra COP28 Conversations | Ep1

We’re excited to be launching the Community Jameel x afikra COP28 Conversation Series to build a forum for intergenerational collaboration and engagement, channel a unique voice, and inspire thoughtful discussions between youth, experts, non-experts and key global decision makers. The series will be a powerful tool to amplify local communities and foster a more inclusive and informed discussion around climate action. By featuring a diverse range of voices and topics, the conversation series will help shape the agenda for a more sustainable future. Stay tuned for all 6 episodes in this season!

In this session, CLIMAVORE and Salma Serry discuss the Mediterranean and how food can be a lens through which to address the challenges posed by the climate crisis. #climavorexjameelatrca

CLIMAVORE is a project initiated by Cooking Sections, Alon Schwabe and Daniel Fernandez Pascual, conceived as a research platform and an agency that questions how to eat as humans change climates. Continuing the work of CLIMAVORE on seasons of drought and wetland disappearance, CLIMAVORE x Jameel at the Royal College of Art is a research initiative that reimagines foodways for drylands and wetlands in the climate crisis.

Salma Serry is a food history researcher, filmmaker and founding curator of Sufra_archive, a library dedicated to the modern food history of Southwest Asia and North Africa, housing the largest collection of historical Arabic cookbooks and culinary ephemera.
