Beyond trainings, we work with collectives and organizations to support them in transforming their work and organizing to bring about positive change. This year, we worked with @peelfoodcouncil to help them share the findings of an extensive community-led research project about barriers to food sovereignty in what is today called Peel Region (Treaty land and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, stewarded for generations by Anishinaabe (Ojibwe/Chippewa), Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat peoples).

We took the written report and re-worked it, revising the report itself to speak in a more accessible way as well as taking the findings one step further to name the root causes of systemic food injustices in Peel. This meant engaging in a deeper analysis of white-supremacy, colonialism and capitalist extractivism and their resulting impacts on food systems leading to food injustice issues across so-called Canada.

We also graphically designed the report with images that put faces to the lives and stories of the community members who are often made invisible in Peel’s food system: migrant workers, Black, Indigenous and People of Colour community members, working class farmers / people and immigrants.
