Reports of all the sessions, and some video links, can be found at the Couchiching web site, http://www.couch.ca. There is also a reading list, not to mention some fascinating Twitter links.

I thought your presentation Susan was very good. The personal description of your own experience helped me see and understand the Bolivian village you visited. Women and children are so terribly vulnerable and the current global politics of food inadequate. I support USC's vision of building on the knowledge and wisdom of indigenious farmers around the world. This approach is wise, respectful and makes sense. MC Glass To Susan, Alroy & Ryan,

Thank you for making this informative video available globally via net. I thought your presentation Susan was very good. The personal description of your own experience helped me see and understand the Bolivian village you visited.

Women and children are so terribly vulnerable and the current global politics of food inadequate.

Monsanto et al with their 'self proclaimed' focus on controlling the global food supply thru technology should be taken out of the equation and we should return back to the sanity that existed when smaller farmers nurtured the land, cared for their animals and knew about seasons and seeds. The GE road we are headed down now in NA seems driven by greedy corporate agendas, questionable, unproven science and stupid politicians. The presentation was spot on.
