Why support the local 

food economy? 

Local farms preserve rural areas for future generations. Once lost to development, 

agricultural land is generally lost forever, not only as a source of food, but also as a 

source of beauty. It is the beauty of the Kootenays that draws the artists, 

the tourists and those who wish to live in a green 

and healthy environment.

POLICY 101 

The events of the past few years have taught us all the 

wisdom of having the necessities of life close at hand. The 

work of rebuilding our local food systems is complex and 

demanding but there is a role for everyone. The image 

below provides suggested actions that can be taken 

to help relocalize our food systems, strengthen our food 

economy and build long term resilience and food security 

for area residents. Explore the table below to identify some 

actions that you could take to be part of the solution. For 

more information and ideas, please visit ckfoodpolicy.ca

Share / make land available for 

food production; scale back nonessential 

water use to privilege 

water use for food production and 

environmental protection 

Business

Privilege local market outlets 

- “feed the family and trade 

the leftovers” (Brewster &

We hear the phrase all the time... 

but what is food security? 

Food security means that everyone has equitable 

access to food that is affordable, culturally preferable, 

nutritious and safe; everyone has agency 

to participate in, and influence food systems; and 

that food systems are resilient, ecologically sustainable, 

socially just, and honour Indigenous food 

sovereignty. 

Food insecurity exists when factors outside an individual’s 

control negatively impact their access to 

enough foods that promote wellbeing. Economic, 

social, environmental, and geographical factors 

influence this access. Food insecurity is most 

acutely felt by those who experience the negative 

impacts of structural inequities, such as discrimination 

and on-going colonial practices.

Did you know that the Central Kootenay has 2 fully licensed 

abattoirs that, between them, serve all species of animals 

raised here? Sourcing meat from locally raised and processed 

animals is a great way to ensure that they are humanely 

raised and slaughtered. And just like most other foods we 

eat, fresh meat is seasonal as well. In the Central Koote- 

nay we can access fresh beef and pork almost year-round, 

though the most common season for both is the fall through 

mid winter. 

Lamb and chickens are available from early summer 

through late fall, and turkey is generally raised to be ready 

for the Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts. Well-packaged 

frozen meat is high quality and available year-round.
