The Northern Isolated Community Initiatives (NICI) Fund supports community-led projects for local and Indigenous food production systems with an emphasis on innovative and practical solutions to increase food security across the North.
The NTFS stream will provide funding to territorial initiatives that are identified by the Northern Food Working Group (NFWG), a federal–territorial working group created to increase economic opportunities in the territories related to growing, harvesting, and processing healthy food. The goal of the NTFS is to support the following types of territorial initiatives identified by the NFWG: access to capital; innovation and research; regulatory development; local food production.
