SUMMARY:Urban Ecology - a New Lens on Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to invite you to the Urban Ecology exhibition\, a collaboration with the IIHS Library and Mihir Kulkarni from the IIHS School of Environment and Sustainability.\nUnderstanding urban ecological dynamics is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate biodiversity loss and promote nature conservation within cities and for improved sustainability. However\, the process of urbanisation intertwines with social and economic factors\, creating complex interactions that demand our attention. Urban ecology addresses these challenges by studying ecology in\, of\, and for the city. Through a series of engaging activities focussed on India\, this quarter’s exhibition is curated to introduce a broader audience to this fascinating area of research. \nThe curated collection of books\, publications and research articles delves into the complex interactions between cities\, nature\, and the social factors that influence them. \nThe exhibition is free and open to all; walk in and enjoy the curation. Don’t miss the dedicated corner showcasing publications from our Small Grants Programme Projects!

SUMMARY:Screening of Seed Stories
DESCRIPTION:The National Centre for Biological Sciences and Bengaluru Sustainability Forum are excited to invite you to the screening of “Seed Stories\,” a compelling documentary directed by Chitrangada Choudhury. So\, mark your calendars and head over to the National Centre for Biological Sciences on Monday\, Aug 5th evening for a screening of this 42 min documentary\, that will be followed by a discussion with an experienced set of panelists involved in research and practice on different aspects of agriculture in the country. \nKindly RSVP here\nFilm Synopsis: In a village in the Niyamgiri mountains of Odisha’s Eastern Ghats\, a heroic effort is underway: barefoot ecologist Dr. Debal Deb and his 3 member-team are conserving in-situ over 1000 endangered heirloom varieties of rice. Odisha’s Eastern Ghats region is one of the world’s surviving biodiversity hotspots\, with Adivasi (Indigenous) communities like the Kondhs possessing the knowledge of growing multiple crops with their folk seeds\, evolved over centuries. At the same time\, the village and the wider region is irreversibly changing with the coming of genetically modified cotton seeds and associated chemicals. ‘Seed Stories’ takes a worm’s eye view of how this is reshaping a geography and a people steeped in agro-ecological knowledge\, and altering their attitudes towards farming\, food and ecology. It invites audiences to reflect on the question\, ‘What is sustainability?’ \n42 minutes | Odiya\, Kui\, English with English subtitles  \nPanel Discussion: Following the film screening\, we will host a panel discussion\, “Agriculture for Sustainability and Food and Nutrition Security : Challenges and Solutions”\, with an experienced set of panelists involved in research and practice on different aspects of agriculture. With a focus on how to achieve sustainability and food and nutrition security\, the panel discussion will draw on the expertise of the panelists on addressing questions related to soil health\, biodiversity\, agroecology\, economics\, politics and international diplomacy of food security. It will also look at the role of different stakeholders – farmers\, scientists\, practitioners and the Government – to enable and support sustainable agriculture practices. \nPanelists: Chitrangada Choudhury – Director\, Seed Stories | Aniket Aga – Associate Director\, Seed Stories | Debal Deb – Basudha | PV Shivaprasad – NCBS | Usha VijayRaghavan – IISc (*TBC) | Sangita Sharma – Annadana Soil and Seed Savers. \nModerator : LS Shashidhara\, Director NCBS \nEvent Details: \nDate: Monday\, 5 August 2024  || Venue: LH1\, NCBS Bengaluru (Location on Google Maps) \nEvent Schedule: \n\nTea & Snacks: 4:15 – 4:45 PM\nIntroducing the Film: 4:45 PM\nFilm Screening: 5:00 – 5:45 PM\nPanel Discussion: 6:00 – 7:00 PM\n\nWe look forward to your presence and participation. \n*This event is a part of Bengaluru Sustainability Forum’s Climate Charche Open Series*
