In February 2025, FLOW academic lead for the Northwest Territories, Andrew Spring, was at the Territorial Agrifood Association‘s GROW Conference (TAA-GROW) in Yellowknife, presenting the Future Harvest Partnership (FHP). The FHP focuses on research and community partnerships to develop climate-resilient agrifood practices.
From the FHP website: “The Future Harvest Partnership is a multi-year collaboration between Wilfrid Laurier University, the Territorial Agrifood Association and the Government of the Northwest Territories. Supported by an interdisciplinary team of leading academics from across North America, and informed by Indigenous Governments and traditional knowledge, the Partnership engages with food producers and local communities of the Northwest Territories to co-create research and generate useful insights for innovation and policy that can inform the development of a climate-resilient local food system.”
