The National Nordic Museum is hosting a series of Nordic Talks, sponsored by the Nordic Council of Ministers. The Nordic Talks are focused on the theme of food security and sustainability. The third talk in the series will move beyond discussions of food consumption to address the first step in the cultivation of plant-based foods. Panelists will discuss efforts to combat declining populations of the world’s most important pollinator—bees.

Panelists are Melanie Kirby, Professional Apiculturist, Santa Fe, New Mexico and Maria Kjetså, Advisor for Farm Animals, Nordgen, Ås, Norway. The conversation is moderated by Bob Redmond, Owner, Survivor Bee; Founder, The Common Acre; Seattle, Washington. During these talks, leading innovators and advocates for sustainable food practices and conservation will discuss solutions to contemporary issues in the areas of fine dining, food processing and packaging, and agriculture. The Museum has invited leaders from the Nordic region and the United States to participate in this series of talks which will increase awareness and inspire positive actions for a more secure and sustainable world.
