First Nation Agricultural Workshop

Representatives from First Nations communities, provincial government, and the University of Guelph are meeting on campus November 21 to 22 for the inaugural First Nation Agricultural Workshop. This workshop in support of the pursuit of food self-determination among First Nations communities is led by professor Elliott Currie of the Department of Management. With the goal of advancing initiatives in the areas of self-sustaining food systems, nutrition, and economic development, the workshop will serve as an opportunity to connect First Nations members with government resources and University of Guelph capabilities.

This event has received generous support from the Arrell Food Institute and Ontario Centres of Excellence.
