About
Our fall meeting centres around food security emergency planning and is in collaboration with Ione Smith. We would like to hear member's input on the Food Security Emergency Plan, key issues on planning for food security, and current needs and opportunities.
Lunch will be provided by the ACRD. Please RSVP so we have accurate numbers for a delicious meal together!
If you are a member of the working group or have attended a Coastal Agricultural Roundtable meeting in the past, please join us and RSVP. If you are a primary producer, food security advocate or stakeholder in another way and would like to join the roundtable conversation for the first time, please email "katie@tofinocommunityfoodinitiative.com" to get acquainted after you RSVP.
The agenda for the meeting will be sent out to members and registrants two weeks ahead of the event.
The Coastal Foods Roundtable exists to foster collaborative relationships, network-building, and synergy between members. When we meet together and connect, we reduce segregation and silos between land-based, marine, and
forest-based food industries by providing an opportunity for direct relationship building and allowing collaboration and cross-referencing. The CFR is a platform for primary producers and processors to engage with local government through staff and the Agricultural Development Committee of the ACRD.
We acknowledge the traditional territories of Hesquiaht First Nation, Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations, Toquaht Nation, Ahousaht, Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ, Huu-ay-aht First Nation, Ditidaht, and Uchucklesaht First Nation in the spirit of truth, healing, and reconciliation and acknowledge the impact that colonization has on traditional food systems.
