Agricultural Practices and Ecological Challenges in Northeast India

Join us for the first webinar of this year's Cultures of Peace programming! Panellists Seno Tsuhah, Bonojit Hussain and Bhogtoram Mawroh discuss 'Agricultural Practices and Ecological Challenges in Northeast India'.

The webinar will highlight agriculture which is the mainstay of the indigenous communities in Northeast India vis-à-vis its sustainability, economy and feminization, while also exploring the role globalisation, marketing and ecological crisis has played in changing agricultural practices in the region. The webinar will be moderated by Angela Rangad.

Cultures of Peace: Festival of the Northeast (CoP) is a collaborative project run by Zubaan and the Heinrich Böll Stiftung, Regional Office, New Delhi aimed at creating spaces for dialogue within civil societies in the eight Northeastern states (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura & Sikkim) and contiguous regions.

In our 2021 edition, the CoP festival looks at feminist responses to ecology through the two themes of “Ecology” and “Performing Arts,” and lists a series of webinars, podcasts, video interviews, etc on various aspects of ecology, ecological crisis and ecology in performing and creative arts in the Northeast.
