Connecting Northern Food Circles webinar #3: Bridges & Barriers - Bringing Food to Market

Written By Guest User

COVID has presented unique challenges for food communities in northern Ontario. Remote access to food, limits to travel and ever-increasing climate change effects are impacting communities and their ability to be self-sustaining. However, these pressures have presented unique opportunities for Northerners to create their own means for self-determination, supporting markets for locally-raised, locally-made products.

Hear from experts in the field about the resilience of northern food projects and how the challenges of COVID have presented opportunities for innovation and collaboration from seed to sale.

This webinar is part of the Bridges and Barriers webinar series, in partnership with the Northern Food Distribution Network (NFDN).
