Information for You and Your Community

Food can be medicine for your body. Indigenous ancestors knew that eating good food can give you, your family, your community, and the seventh generation a good life. However, communities' food security and food sovereignty are threatened by many challenges, including by global climate change and natural disasters. Addressing these threats to food and safety can help Natives not only survive, but thrive.
