SUMMARY:In Conversation: The Fibershed Movement
DESCRIPTION:What Does Fashion Have to Do With Farming? Exploring the Growing Fibershed Movement in the UK \n  \nSimilar to a local watershed or a foodshed\, a Fibershed is focused on the source of the raw material\, the transparency with which it is converted into clothing\, and the connectivity among all parts\, from soil to skin and back to soil. \n  \nFibershed is an international movement developing regional and regenerative fibre systems\, where farmers\, producers\, textile workers\, designers\, distributors and many others work together to responsibly manage the full lifecycle of a garment. \n  \nJoin a panel discussion with Fibershed founding director Rebecca Burgess to discuss how the movement started in the USA and has subsequently grown around the world. We’ll hear from those building the Fibershed movement within the UK\, including Emma Hague\, who is founding director of the Bristol Textile Quarter and started the South West England Fibreshed group. We’ll also hear from farmer Gala Bailey-Barker of Plow Hatch Farm and natural dyer Deborah Barker who founded the South East England Fibreshed group. Abby Rose\, of Farmerama Radio\, will be leading the conversation\, and we’ll have time to delve into questions from the audience at the end!

SUMMARY:Keeping Fashion Close to Home for Better and Lighter Living
DESCRIPTION:Objective: To highlight community solutions for reversing unsustainable trends in fashion and textiles\n\nDescription: Our wardrobes and textiles protect us from the elements and enable expressions of culture and individuality. Responsibility for closing the fashion loop lies not only with consumers\, who are affected by price\, trends\, advertising\, and available options but also with communities and companies who design\, produce\, and market products and set the policy infrastructure. The fashion industry sector and textiles stand out because people identify so intimately with purchasing decisions about what they wear. We’re seeing sustainable fashion trending in the media as consumer concern rises over the negative impacts of this industry on the environment. Better sourcing and production efforts\, consumer messaging (uniqueness and quality over quantity)\, reuse and vintage models\, and more product information are all emerging solutions. This webinar will showcase local and regional fiber and textile systems that drive environmentally and socially healthy production chains and businesses\, support local job creation\, and rebuild markets for regionally produced fashion and fiber-based products.\n  \n  \n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n\nKatia Vladimirova\, Founder\, Sustainable Fashion Consumption Working Group \n\n\n\nKirstin Miller\, Ecocity Builders \nWinona LaDuke\, Honor the Earth & Winona’s Hemp \nRebecca Burgess\, Fibershed \nHarry Moser\, Founder\, Reshoring Initiative

SUMMARY:Climate Beneficial Agriculture as foundation for textile creation processes
DESCRIPTION:The role of Climate Beneficial Agriculture as a foundation for textile creation processes \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event \n\n\nAdriana Marina (founder of the NGO Hecho por Nosotros and B-Corp animaná) is happy to host Rebecca Burgess. \nCommunities around the world often rely upon exploitative textile systems. Fibershed develops place-based regional fiber and natural dye systems that generate necessary forms of material culture\, while simultaneously regenerating lost carbon stocks in our soil and providing meaningful livelihoods. \nFibershed founder and Executive Director Rebecca Burgess has built an extensive network of farmers and artisans within the Northern California fibershed and is piloting a regenerative fiber systems model at a community scale. \nAbout our guest speaker Rebecca Burgess: \nRebecca Burgess is the Executive Director of Fibershed and Chair of the Board for Carbon Cycle Institute. She has over a decade of experience writing and implementing hands-on curriculum that focuses on the intersection of restoration ecology and fiber systems. She has taught at Westminster College\, Harvard University\, and has created workshops for a range of NGOs and corporations. She is the author of the best-selling book Harvesting Color\, a bioregional look into the natural dye traditions of North America. She has built an extensive network of farmers and artisans within their region’s Northern California Fibershed to pilot the regenerative fiber systems model at the community scale.
