The Territorial Agrifood Association

The Territorial Agrifood Organization is a dynamic and innovative group dedicated to supporting and growing the food and agriculture sector across Canada’s Northwest Territory. They represent farmers, producers, chefs, and food entrepreneurs. This organization is at the forefront of building a sustainable, community-driven food system in one of the most remote and challenging environments in the country.
From community greenhouses and wild harvesting initiatives to value-added food processing and culinary festivals, the Territorial Agrifood Organization is working tirelessly to overcome the unique logistical and infrastructure hurdles faced by northern food producers. By fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and advocating for policy changes, they are empowering local food champions and ensuring northerners have access to nutritious, culturally-appropriate food.
With an unwavering commitment to food security, food sovereignty, and environmental stewardship, the Territorial Agrifood Organization is a shining example of how grassroots food movements can thrive even in the harshest of climates. Their annual conference brings together a diverse array of stakeholders to share ideas, showcase regional specialties, and chart a course for a more resilient northern food system.
Food Day Canada is proud to shine a spotlight on the incredible work of the Territorial Agrifood Organization and the food heroes working hard nourishing their communities. By amplifying their stories and supporting their initiatives, we can help build bridges between the north and south, ensuring all Canadians have the opportunity to experience the unique flavours and culinary traditions of this remarkable region.
