In 2025, delegates from around the world gathered in Kandy, Sri Lanka for the 3rd Global Nyéléni Forum on Food Sovereignty to dream up collective visions for food sovereignty. This event brings these conversations home to Northwestern Ontario. At a time of growing uncertainty, and growing possibility, this is an opportunity to connect global movements to local realities, and to explore how we organize for change together. This talk is part of Food Sovereignty Across Scales: Global Movements, Local Action, a collaborative series put on by the Food Action Network of Northwestern Ontario, the Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario, the National Farmers Union of Ontario, Gaagige Zaagibigaa, and the Thunder Bay District Health Unit.
