Tkaronto Plant Life – Cultivating Indigenous Food Sovereignty Through Farming in Tkaronto

Funded Amount: $30000
Tkaronto Plant Life is a farm and small community garden in Tkaronto that is reimaging our food systems from Indigenous and decolonial perspectives. Run by a collective of Indigenous youth, we grow traditional foods and medicines as a collective and with BIPOC youth. Through this land-based participation, Tkaronto Plant Life is an educational space centring Indigenous land and food sovereignty, with aims of promoting access to land, traditional food and medicines by-and-for Indigenous and BIPOC youth in urban spaces. We provide food and medicines to Indigenous and BIPOC community members, and we also share our land-based skills, from seed to table, and from plants to medicine making.
