How Backyard Farming Can Help Rebuild Local Food Supply

About

Backyard farming isn’t just a trend — it’s a solution. Join us for a powerful session that explores how municipalities across Newfoundland and Labrador can take practical, low-barrier steps to support local food production and reclaim food security in their communities.

Hosted in partnership with the Food Producers Forum, this webinar features Alison Snow and Dan Rubin, Chairperson and Project Coordinator of the Forum, sharing success stories from communities that are already making change. You’ll also hear from Dr. Nic Fairbridge of Memorial University’s Faculty of Medicine, who will shed light on how current municipal policies are often standing in the way — and what simple changes can help fix that.

This session is filled with real examples, research, and ideas that municipalities can act on right away to help food grow where it’s most needed: close to home.
