Join us with Salma and Samia for a community kitchen that defines and bridges the shared agrarian struggles between Indonesia and Rwanda.  \nIndonesia and Rwanda both have predominantly agrarian economies\, yet food insecurity\,  displacement\, and the exploitation of farmers amoung several other forms of oppression are rampant within these nations. As they share their favourite Indonesian and Rwandan recipes\, Salma and Samia will guide us in a discussion about this joint struggle to emphasize the importance of building international solidarity towards food justice.  \nLet’s cook\, eat\, and reflect together on how land\, food\, and collective resistance connect our struggles across borders. \nWe’ll be making: \n\nNasi Uduk & Ayam Goreng (coconut milk rice with fried chicken)\nIsombe (cassava stew with rice)\nMizuzu (fried plantains)\nEs Cincau (iced grass jelly drink)\n\n  \nAll dishes are Halal.

SUMMARY:Food Rescue
DESCRIPTION:Embark Sustainability’s\nFood Rescue Program\nWe collect healthy yet imperfect-looking produce that does not meet the selling criteria of supermarket chains and redistribute it to Simon Fraser University (SFU) students for free or by donation. Food is collected from Nesters Market and distributed at SFU Burnaby. \nStop by and grab some brain food between classes! Distribution takes place throughout each academic term and does not occur during exam periods or breaks between terms.
