Around the world, seed diversity is threatened, and yet it is critical for ensuring a secure and resilient food system that serves both people and planet. At a time of climate crisis, there has never been greater urgency to restore global seed diversity to the hands of the farmers, not corporations
HOT POETS - Bringing poetry & science together to imagine a better possible future.
Hot Poet: Liv Torc
Matched with: Gaia Foundation: Seed Sovereignty UK & Ireland
Poem Focus: Seed Resilience and Diversity
ABOUT HOT POETS
Hot Poets is an ambitious, award-winning, internationally focused project turned CIC, working to powerfully communicate climate change science and action through spoken word poetry. The real stories of ecological innovation and hope we don’t often hear.
We do this by creating dynamic arts and science collaborations and partnerships with top climate change organisations and world class artists, engaging directly with stakeholders across sectors, on the ground communities, young people, live and online audiences and the climate scientists themselves, who often feel unheard - at a time in history when their ability to effectively communicate is of paramount importance.
Hot Poets is working in partnership with leading climate change, academic, government and arts organisations at a global and grassroots level, including the UNFCCC, University College London, the Southbank Centre, the Gaia Foundation and the Met Office.
