What is Feed Nova Scotia doing?

At Feed Nova Scotia, we know that food can’t solve food insecurity. In order to build a truly food secure Nova Scotia, we need to change the structures and systems that cause food insecurity in the first place. Feed Nova Scotia is focused on three main advocacy pillars: income, food access, and food sovereignty. To read more about our advocacy priorities and how they were selected, check out our platform framework.

You can find more information below about our policy recommendations, budget submissions and reactions, and media statements concerning our advocacy work.

Feed Nova Scotia and the network of members are located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq Peoples, and we acknowledge them as past, present, and future caretakers of this land. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq, Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. We are all Treaty people.

We acknowledge that African Nova Scotians have existed and persisted on the traditional land of the Mi’kmaq for more than 400 hundred years and their significant presence has contributed to the existence of Nova Scotia.

We are grateful to live and work in Mi’kma’ki.
