Community Partnerships, Innovation, & Advocacy

Starting in 2022, we committed resources to the creation of a new department at Feed Nova Scotia, focused on exploring, developing, and testing new equitable and community-led approaches to meeting the needs of food-insecure Nova Scotians.

This work, by its very nature, is about trying several different approaches with the knowledge some will work, and others won’t, but that all efforts yield valuable learning to share and build upon.

RESEARCH

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.
