Food Sovereignty Canada

Food sovereignty in Canada refers to communities' and Indigenous peoples' rights to determine and control their own food systems—what's grown, how it's produced, and who benefits. It emphasizes local, sustainable agriculture and fair access, opposing reliance on global supply chains and big corporations that can undermine local food security and traditional practices. Overall, food sovereignty seeks to empower communities to make decisions that support health, cultural identity, and environmental sustainability, ensuring everyone has access to adequate, nutritious food produced in ways aligned with their values and needs.
