The Youth Coalition 4 Food Security North is a project that will support, engage and connect youth in food initiatives in their regions across northern Canada. Their goal is to get youth engaged with local food production and empower them to share knowledge and experiences. This will empower youth to advocate for sustainable, culturally appropriate, resilient food production models in the North. This project will create a network of resources by youth, for youth, to support engagement in food dialogues and initiatives in the North.
