Devon Wilson is an urban farmer who believes in the power of sustainable agriculture to improve people’s wellbeing and create a better future for generations to come. In his current role as the founder and CEO of Sunlight Gardens, he leads the development and management of urban farming initiatives, focusing on creating equitable access to nutritious food options. He strives to inspire the next generation of farmers by showcasing the importance of organic farming practices and the potential of urban agriculture to transform communities. Join him in this session to learn about his journey that’s rooted in the drive to create an equitable food system where everyone has access to nutritious food and to working the land! This event is part of the Honorable Harvest lecture series, organized in alignment with the Kalamazoo Foodways Symposium, and inspired by the beloved Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass. Kimmerer describes the Indigenous principles and practices of the Honorable Harvest, asking us to give back in reciprocity for what we have been given. Join us in this lecture series to explore ways in which we can come together to nurture and restore the Honorable Harvest in our communities and in our every day lives.
Arrive as early as 5 p.m. to enjoy Taps on Tuesday, a happy hour-style event hosted by Kalamazoo Valley’s culinary and brewing students.
