About Us:
Food Matters Manitoba (FMM) is an Indigenous community-led organization that is addressing the multiple root causes of food insecurity in Manitoba through collaboration to co-create systemic change. FMM is guided by the imperative to reclaim, revive, and rebuild Indigenous food sovereignty through re-igniting the inherent Indigenous spiritual, physical, social, ecological, and economic connections to the land. FMM works through building relationships based on mutual respect and trust through such ways as face-to-face conversation, sharing experiences on the land, sharing meals, and connecting through ceremony. FMM focuses on long-term strategies
that support and prioritize Indigenous self-determination and control over household and community food systems.

The vision and ideas for action come from Indigenous Harvesters and Indigenous Youth Harvesters, and other community partners. The FMM staff team walk alongside these partners to support the successful realization of their food system initiatives. We work to enhance food security through education, training, mentorship, and positive relationships. We prioritize people over projects, mentorship over workshops, and employment over volunteerism – offering both immediate and long-term support to 13 partner communities in Northern Manitoba.
