Our Values
Ecology - we work toward an ecological food system.
|
We recognize nature as the foundation for life.
We value ecological integrity as the basis for healthy systems. We value soil food webs, biodiversity, and the hydrological cycle. We honour the Earth's resource limits and use human agency to work with nature's cycles. |
|
Health - we work toward a healthful food system.
|
We recognize human health as inextricable from ecological health.
We value cellular health, tissue health, organ health, and holistic human health. We value biological health, mental health, emotional health, and spiritual health. We honour that the foods we ingest directly connect us to the health of the systems in which they were produced. We value the health of our relationships and of all communities. We honour cooking and eating together as celebration of life and relationships. |
|
Justice - we work toward a just food system.
|
We recognize consumption as linked to a web of economic processes that are just or unjust. We value human rights, worker's rights, women's rights, and indigenous rights. We value seed sovereignty, food sovereignty, and the commons. We recognize water and food as human rights. We honour our choices as votes for the world we want to perpetuate. |
