Hello there! My name is Maggie. I am currently a student in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems at Trent University. I am interested in sustainable food production, food systems and issues surrounding food sovereignty. When I heard that there may be an opportunity to do a placement internship at Nourish this fall to do research about canning, I was so excited! I’ve always had an interest in home food preservation and the ways that we can extend the local food season into the winter. But I was also nervous!
We are excited to announce that 14 women have joined the Peterborough Culinary Collaborative training. Thanks to the generous support of the United Way Peterborough & District’s Innovation Fund, we are piloting this new Collaborative by supporting women with barriers to employment in gaining access to meaningful and stable jobs in the food industry.
Our annual Advocacy Advent Calendar opens its first door today, and will offer 24 resources for you to become a more informed advocate for change.
Each day a new door will open, providing a different article, well-researched report, or video for you to check out.
Dedicate a few minutes daily this December to learning, and you'll become a stronger advocate with every resource! - Because change doesn't happen without the hard work of people like you.
Have you heard of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals? In 2015, the UN identified 17 SDGs with the explicit purpose to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030. To get there, they set 169 targets and 232 performance indicators. While the UN’s scope is global in nature, many of the 17 SDGs are directly related to our local efforts at Nourish.
