SUMMARY:Plot to Plate: Small-Space Food Gardening
DESCRIPTION:Join Aiden Silzer-Hooker to learn about maximizing yield in your small space garden plot through natural methods. Aiden is an expert in food permaculture in urban areas, using everything from intercropping, companion planting, green manures and composts, to vertical growing. He focuses on increasing biodiversity, food security and creating a more sustainable food supply chain.\n \nAiden’s company, Front Yard Farms, aims to create a more sustainable food supply chain, while increasing food security, food sovereignty and biodiversity, while decreasing food waste and carbon footprints. Front Yard Farms uses only the best organic growing methods to bring you nutritious, delicious produce, year round.\nAiden Silzer-Hooker, is a Kwantlen Polytechnic University alumni, who graduated with his Bachelor of Horticulture Science, with a Major in Urban Ecosystems, a Diploma in Horticulture Technology, and he is also an ISA Certified Arborist. During his time at KPU, Aiden started asking the tough questions about how we get our food here in British Columbia, and Canada as a whole. Aiden decided to change the narrative surrounding food – where it comes from, how it’s produced, and how to create a more equitable food system for everyone.\n
