The City of Nanaimo is preparing a Nanaimo Food Charter and Food Strategy, which is intended to focus on the specific needs, assets and desires of the community in achieving a healthy, prosperous and sustainable food system.
Have you:
- Thought about ways we can be healthier and improve our community through food?
- Thought about how we can create more business opportunities and jobs through food?
- Met other people who also have great ideas about food, and are willing to share them?
Have you thought about…
- Growing more food locally? From your back yard? Local farms?
- Keeping livestock or bees for food production? What does that look like?
- Manufacturing local food products? Jam? Seafood? Other specialty items?
- Unique ways to celebrate food?
- Innovative ways to provide more affordable food? What about emergency situations?
- Other cities (places) where you’ve seen unique food ideas unfold? What does that look like for Nanaimo?
What about other ideas?
