Walk of Many Nations

On Saturday, June 18th, a group of about 30 Terra Madre delegates walked for about 4k to a lookout over Jokkmokk. We were quite a lively group with representatives from Italy, Jordan, Thailand, Malaysia, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Spain, India, Ethiopia and Canada. Lots of laughter and everyone taking pictures. Lalji, a pastoralist from India told me later that they were laughing at me because the fast walking Canadian was leading everyone up the hill. 

Met so many lovely people who are passionate about their role in the global food community. The presentations, discussions and conversations were part of a positive dialogue that will create much needed change.
