This collaborative initiative between Red Rock Indian Band, Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg, Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek, and the University of Guelph is funded by OMAFA and the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance. The three-year project focuses on re-localizing seed systems and strengthening food sovereignty in Northern Ontario.
Key highlights from Year 1:
Garden stewards were hired and raised beds constructed
Food was grown, harvested, and seeds saved
Community-driven toolkits were developed for growing and seed saving
Ongoing collaboration with Understanding Our Food Systems staff supports engagement
