Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 (ZERO HUNGER) aims to: end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. Food insecurity, malnutrition and hunger are urgent global problems. They have significant negative impacts on the development potential and quality of life of people in many countries.
Under SDG 2, the Government of Canada is focusing on: ensuring that Canadians have access to sufficient, affordable and nutritious food and ensuring that Canadian agriculture is sustainable.

We are excited to announce the launch of a dedicated page on our website aimed at tracking our activities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
With our Niriqatiginnga workshop session accepted for Arctic Congress 2024, and receiving our first letter of support from the University of the Arctic, we wanted to learn more about Canada’s vision for Arctic youth empowerment.
We’re really excited to have our session proposal accepted for the Arctic Congress 2024 in Bodø, Norway. Our session is titled “Niriqatiginnga: Fostering Food Security and Innovation for Northern Supply Chains.”
Catch up on this month’s activities with our latest video update. This short presentation will share some of the cool project activities our Niriqatiginnga project is working on this month.
The Niriqatiginnga project is aligned with several of the goals and objectives outlined in the Government of Canada’s “Arctic and Northern Policy Framework.”
Over the next five weeks we are excited to be able to connect with Kami Norland’s biosystems class at the MInneapolis College of Art and Design.
It’s been a busy few months. Here is our project update as we move into November, 2023. It’s the month we’ve been waiting for as, after more than six months of dedicated planning, Niriqatiginnga will officially start its programming.
This month we have a lot of updates on progress towards our food security and creative arts entrepreneurship programming.
Niriqatiginnga means “come eat with me,” in Inuktitut. It is a Winnipeg-based non-profit organization that is exploring how to address northern food insecurity through arts-based and cultural entrepreneurship approaches.
