Connecting Northern Food Circles webinar #4: Balancing Values & Sustainability Pt 2
Learn about how funders support various food initiatives in Northern Ontario, and how they can better meet the needs of applicants.
Instead of placing burden of change on funding applicants, how can funders pioneer a different future that supports regional strengths, integrated social and environmental health, and interconnections for wider systemic change?
In this webinar and unconventional Funders Forum, we explore the complexity of funding sustainability in northern food project development. We invite ideas to develop collaborative funding models which foster innovation, align with social justice missions, close food insecurity gaps, and lead to food system transformation. Our speakers and hosts examine current practices from the perspective of creating more bridges and reducing barriers, which is the theme of this season's webinar series. We hope you’ll join us to share your thoughts and ideas to work towards a more resilient and robust northern food system.
This webinar is part of the Connecting Northern Food Circles webinar series brought to you by Northern Food Distribution Network (NFDN).
