- Saving Seed Diversity, One Cabbage at a Time: In the last century, we’ve lost 75 per cent of our global agricultural biodiversity. According to the Millennium Seed Bank Partnership, a further 60,000 to 100,000 plant species are at risk of extinction.
- Moving Past Meatless Mondays: From social media to news coverage to restaurant menus, it is hard to overlook the rising popularity of plant-based diets.
- Edible Opportunities: Can designing our gardens in a way that replicates natural forest settings be the key to ensuring food security?
- Common Roots Grow Deep: Everyone who’s spent time at Common Roots says some version of the same thing; meeting new people, spending time together, learning and connecting in a community are what this place is about.
- A look back at Ecology Action Centre's Food Work (2002 - 2017)
- Cultivating Climate Resilience: Producing and distributing food in our region is going to become more difficult as weather patterns become more erratic, extreme weather events become more frequent, and sea levels rise.
- Beyond The Box: According to a 2011 research study on Canadian household food insecurity, Nova Scotia has the highest rate of food insecurity of all Canadian provinces (excluding territories).1 This means that many Nova Scotians do not have reliable access to affordable, healthy food.
- Ecological Agriculture: When we think of local agriculture, we often think of fresh produce and meats, but did you know that ecological farming can also play an important role in creating a greener Nova Scotia?
- Once Upon a Restaurant: Everyone has a favourite restaurant, but what about a favorite food experience?
