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;
