*Streams to Rivers: Indigenous Inland Fisheries Struggles and the Canadian
Food Sovereignty Movement*

food sovereignty movement. This session will also look at how connecting
with international movements, such as the small scale fisheries movement
can help to make this a reality.

*From Field to Patient Tray – How Can Health Care Institutions Build the
Value Chain to Provide More Fresh, Local, Sustainable Food? *

This session will explore opportunities and challenges of healthcare
facilities and local food sellers to develop the value chain from ‘the
field to patient tray’. What might producers need to do to be more market
ready? What issues do distributors in selling to the institutional market?
How can institutions effectively change their purchasing, food services,
policies, and engage stakeholders and staff to embrace change? How can new
relationships be brokered to making meaningful connections with the food
that patients, families and staff are served in health care institutions?

*Food Sovereignty & Food Justice for Whom?*

This session will be a discussion about our lived experience as grassroots
food justice and food security advocates. We recognize the presence of
racialized systemic barriers to resources and funding for community food
programming, and the impacts of the lack of adequate representation and
cultural diversity within the ‘food movement’. Where do we go from here?
Workshop discussions will explore food injustice, opportunities for
collaboration and tangible methods for mobilizing change.

Growing Collective; Facilitators: Jenelle Regnier-Davies, Building Roots in
Toronto & TFPC; Sabina Ali, Thorncliffe Park Women's Committee
