Food Sovereignty NL
Food Sovereignty NL encourages people to think critically about their food sources and prioritize eating local vegetables, fruits, berries, fish, and meat from culturally appropriate, environmentally sustainable, and ethical sources. This group is a place to share resources on where to find locally grown and harvested foods, share recipes, and create a community for people who are striving for a diet that cares for our planet, as well as our bodies, mind, and spirit.

Projects & Partnerships
Food Pricing Survey:
From Nain to Corner Brook
To better understand the cost of key food items across our province, the CLEAR Lab at Memorial University, the Social Justice Co-operative NL, and the Nunatsiavut Government are collaborating on a citizen science survey project to collect data on food prices. This data will be used to create both ground-level data and insights into regional food pricing as well as province-wide information for policy and advocacy.
Sharing The Harvest
Sharing The Harvest NL aims to assist hunters, fishers and farmers in donating locally sourced food to food banks across the province.
Red Tape Reduction Initiative Submission
As part of an initiative by the provincial government, our team submitted recommendations to make it easier for fishers and farmers to sell their harvest directly to consumers
