Food Security and Innovation
Our Food Security & Climate Resilience Program empowers Indigenous and Northern communities through land-based, sustainable agriculture and food innovation. Originally piloted in 2024 with funding from the Manitoba Agriculture Indigenous Food Systems and Agriculture Program and the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, this initiative weaves together traditional knowledge, regenerative practices, and climate entrepreneurship—fueled by the creativity of the arts. In 2025 the program expanded to work with Northwestern Ontario, Minnesota and Nunavut.
Reclaiming Food Sovereignty with Sustainable Agriculture and Creative Leadership
From local food production and preservation to the development of culturally relevant food products and community-led agri-innovation, the program strengthens food sovereignty while building skills and pathways for the next generation of land stewards, artists, and changemakers. By connecting agriculture, climate action, and artistic expression, we’re growing a resilient, just, and thriving food future—rooted in community, culture, and care.
