About Us

The Thunder Bay and Area Food Strategy brings local food players to the table to take a coordinated approach to achieving food security through the implementation of pertinent research, planning, policy, and program development.

With over 40 members representing farmers, institutions, government, food security organizations and more, we are conveners and activators who implement the priorities of the Thunder Bay Food Charter to cook up a healthy, sustainable, and equitable food system.

The Thunder Bay and Area Food Strategy builds on years of community-led efforts to create a sustainable food system for Thunder Bay and Area. Supported by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Strategic Action Plan carries forward the principles ingrained in the Thunder Bay Food Charter in order to achieve long-term community food security to promote regional food self-reliance, healthy environments, and thriving economies.

Thunder Bay and Area Food Strategy is organized around the 7 pillars of a sustainable food system: Food Access, Forest and Freshwater Foods; Food Infrastructure; Food Procurement; Food Production; School Food Environments; Urban Agriculture.
