Growing Security: Summary of Agriculture and Agri-foods Zoom Discussions

First Nations and Indigenous people history in agriculture and agri‐foods today has existed long before Canada confederated. There has always been a relationship between Indigenous people and the land. Indigenous people harvested plants, ranched livestock, and cultivated plants to create medicines and design companion planting systems like the Three Sisters. Canada’s agriculture and agri‐foods industry is critical to the sustainability and independence of the country, and of growing importance to Indigenous communities nationwide.
