We coordinate local food projects to achieve good things for people, our communities, and the environment.
We are a nationally incorporated non-profit organization and registered Canadian charity based out of Northumberland County, ON. Our mission is to coordinate local, sustainable food programs and systems and advocating for the accessibility and affordability of healthy food for everyone.
We achieve a positive impact by:
Coordinating local food programs and projects that help build community
Carrying out research and educational programs on improving access to food supply
Achieving food security to nourish children and youth, families and seniors
Taking action against food insecurity
1 in 8 Canadian families struggle to put food on the table. Households with children under the age of 18 are more likely to be food insecure. Remote geography, sliding income levels, unemployment and basic knowledge and skills are known barriers to people accessing fresh, affordable food.
We believe access to affordable, healthy food is a basic human right, which is why we are committed to working with farmers, producers, businesses and community organizations in developing partnerships that advance food sovereignty, food literacy, and food security for everyone.
Local food initiatives: making a positive impact
Our work is all about caring for our communities and the environment. We coordinate local food initiatives and community-driven projects that positively impact individuals, communities, and the world around us. We facilitate efforts that promote well-being and sustainability through strategic collaboration and expert project management. Through harnessing local resources and cultivating robust partnerships, our programs strive to deliver tangible and enduring benefits to individuals and the environment by advancing food security and fostering healthy communities.
