Six Pillars for Food Self Determination
The Pillars of reclaiming our right for food self-determination in Nishnawbe Aski Nation
Our approach is built on the belief that:
- Locally sourced food will be more sustainable and secure than any other food;
- Community members currently have and will further develop the interest, capacity and resources to hunt, fish, forage, and grow foods;
- Imported food will supplement a strong local food system;
- Employment opportunities can be created around food;
- Inter-generational knowledge transfer is fundamental;
