Why Attend
For generations, Indigenous peoples have built relationships, communities and economies around food. The Indigenous Food Gathering brings those connections together in a contemporary setting.
Join First Nations, harvesters, growers, fishers, knowledge holders, chefs, entrepreneurs, institutions and partners to explore how Indigenous food systems can strengthen culture, community wellbeing and economic opportunity.
Connect with Indigenous food leaders, producers, businesses, buyers and partners. Learn from communities and entrepreneurs already creating solutions. Explore practical pathways across harvesting, food sovereignty, production, processing, procurement, trade, culinary experiences and opportunities for future generations.

Our events are made possible through the generosity of partners who believe in what we're building together. If your organization is looking for a meaningful way to connect with Indigenous economic development — whether through an upcoming event or a longer-term partnership — we'd love to have a conversation.
Every partnership we form is bespoke, shaped around your goals and ours.
