Sustainable Food
Sustainable Food Project Stream
A project that facilitates sustainable food choices in your community.
What are sustainable food choices? They can be anything from choosing local and seasonal foods, eating a more plant-based diet, choosing organics, choosing whole foods over processed ones, being aware of where your food comes from, growing your own food and reducing food waste.
Examples of possible projects:
- Plant a community vegetable garden available to those in need
- Create a pollinator sanctuary for local butterflies and bees
- Create an awareness campaign to encourage sustainable food alternatives
Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots
Do great things in your community.
Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots began in 1991 when Dr. Jane met with 12 Tanzanian high school students who wanted to tackle urgent problems in their community. Since that meeting, Roots & Shoots groups have multiplied many times over and can now be found in nearly 100 countries around the world. Wherever there’s a group, young people are making change that benefits animals, people and the environment.
Grants for the Sustainable Food stream were made possible through the
generous support of Planet Friendly News and Loblaw Companies Limited.
