Island Community Food Security Program

Funds for food literacy and security projects in Prince Edward Island

The Island Community Food Security Program is designed to support the expansion of local markets while simultaneously supporting goals related to community food security, particularly increasing access to affordable local food and improving health and food safety. It is focused on strengthening local food systems through community-led education and outreach activities like linking farmers to consumers, promoting good nutrition and healthy food choices, building community self-reliance and collaboration, enhancing the pride and joy of growing, preparing, and eating food, building the capacity for people to create change through education and empowerment, and creating multi-sector partnerships and networks that work toward community food security.
