About Us

The Food Action Society of the North Okanagan was formed as a result of community consultations held during the Food Security Assessment and Action Plan (2007) that indicated a number of community food programs needed support and/or had discontinued as a result of not having a secure host agency. It was recognized that no local Society was mandated to address community food security and that having a society that could develop food security and food system initiatives would be an important asset and service for the area.

Mission

The Food Action Society of the North Okanagan is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to improve food security by cultivating a more sustainable regional food system through programs, projects, education, policy, and community engagement. Read and sign the online food charter.

How to find out about Local Food Producers, Processors, Retailers & Related Issues

The North Okanagan Community Food Portal helps you to find the local food you need through an interactive map , a directory, and stories of  local food producers, processors, retailers and various community food projects. We encourage you to help build the portal by submitting your own ideas about North Okanagan food culture using videos, photos, blogs and podcasts.
