Our Indigenous Health Research Group has partnered with northern communities, Tribal Councils and Political organizations (AFN, NAN) in Yukon, Northwest Territories, British Columbia and Ontario to document and support local land-based food strategies to increase local food capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of a five-year project supporting local food initiatives, we worked with the Moose Cree First Nation in Moose Factory, Ontario and their local Food Developer to support food sustainability planning. The research shared in this presentation describes the collaborative efforts between Moose Cree First Nation Band Council leadership, community members and our research group in support of local garden development as part of their local food sustainability strategy. The presentation will focus on startup engagement strategies, garden uptake, garden construction and planting activities, garden yields, and individual feedback from gardeners describing their experiences with the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"thursday-october-26-2023-at-1200-pm-eastern-time-us-and-canada\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thursday, October 26, 2023 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This event will take place virtually (over Zoom)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/230\/Michael-A-Robidoux-Seminar-Oct-26-2023-at-noon-1.pdf\">Click here!<\/a> for complete information<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small-Scale Personal Gardening Development as a Local Food Sustainability Strategy for the Moose Cree First Nation &nbsp; The challenges northern remote communities in Canada face acquiring regular access to affordable and healthy food have been well documented.
