Dig In! An interactive workshop on food sovereignty

Dig In! is an interactive workshop that explores the concept of food sovereignty, which means ensuring food for everyone; building food systems that are controlled locally; and honouring ecosystems and traditional knowledge.

It is a lens through which we can better understand the food system and explore how to build stronger connections between people and food, between urban populations and farmers, and create more just food and agriculture policies.
The workshop was developed by youth from across the country including young farmers, urban youth, aboriginal youth, and food activists. Its goal is to expose participants to this concept and provide them with the knowledge they need to use it as an organizing principle in their work.

The Dig In! workshop was created through a collaborative project of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, the youth education network Check Your Head, and the National Farmers Union Youth.
