The Edible Garden Project respectfully honours and acknowledges that we live, work, and play on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nations. The Edible Garden Project recognizes that our means of food production is mainly based on a system brought in by white settlers to serve that same population while also being rooted in a systematic process of dispossession. Agricultural policies have long been used as instruments for assimilation and colonization – ignoring both Indigenous knowledge of the land and their right and autonomy over it – and our farm is not excused from this. In our mission to create a community where access to growing and sharing fresh, healthy food is possible for all people, we hope to create a healthier ecosystem and landscape while contributing to a broader system where Indigenous food sovereignty is prioritized and supported.
