IPRF takes a holistic approach to food sovereignty, security, and justice. Food sovereignty emphasizes community autonomy and control over food production, acquisition, storage, and consumption. Food security is when community members have reliable physical and economic access to sufficient and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs. Food justice includes ensuring knowledge of, and access to, traditional practices such as hunting, fishing, and gathering; and teaching ancestral and modern harvesting methods, with an emphasis on sustainability-taking only what is needed, utilizing everything, and ensuring resources are preserved for seven generations ahead.

Through the Food Sovereignty Bundles, organizations can support capacity building to sustain just food initiatives, mobilize resources for program implementation, and foster knowledge transfer, skills development, and teachings to empower communities in their food systems.

Be bold and creative in proposing food sovereignty projects that foster and support long-term, holistic approaches to community wellness and resilience.
