Common Ground Food Forum 2026

Come visit the greenhouse, new farm building, and fields to see how fresh produce supports food security in the community. Our community-based farm (https://www.ramacommunityfarm.com/) is owned and operated by the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, a proud and progressive community committed to nourishing its members and neighbours across Lake Country. The visit will include a talk about the history of agriculture in Rama, covering pre-colonial and colonial periods and its significance today. Please note that this is a working farm. Wear clothes that can get dirty and sturdy, appropriate footwear, as you may be invited to take part in light activities such as weeding. Seating is limited; visitors who require seating for accessibility reasons are encouraged to indicate this on the registration form. The session will include time for questions. It is open to practitioners, researchers, students, policymakers, and others interested in food security, food systems, and community equity.

Accessing Farmland & Land Use Agreements

For farmland owners &amp; aspiring farmers Tuesday, Sept 9, 6 - 9 PM Online&nbsp;via Zoom $20 (Pay-what-you-can spots available) Learn about different ways to access farmland and create land use agreements that work for both farmers and landowners. This session also covers what to consider when seeking land or welcoming a farm tenant.

To bring this project to life, we&#39;re raising funds to support production, youth leadership, filming, editing, and community screenings. Every contribution helps ensure young people can share their experiences in their own words.&nbsp; What is the Food Futures Youth Council?&nbsp;Food Futures is a team of dynamic, passionate change makers representing Algonquin/Ottawa&rsquo;s youth voice for food and farming issues.
