Our Values
The work of the Annapolis Valley Community Food Council will be guided by our shared commitments to:
Food sovereignty: Recognize that we all have power to shape the future of food for ourselves and for one another.
Inclusivity: Respect differences and embrace diversity, striving for equity and social justice in our communities.
Local Food: Embrace the resilience of our rural environments, and support local producers to transform our food system from the ground up.
Sustainability: Ensure that nutritious food is produced and shared in a way that allows for the social, ecological, and economical longevity of our food supply for generations to come.
Community Empowerment: Learn from each other, form partnerships, and foster a shared understanding around food security in order to build community capacity.
