WHY DO I WANT A CAREER IN AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY? With a profound passion for addressing global food insecurity, I am dedicated to pursuing a master's degree and a career in rural land use and planning, specifically agricultural land protection/preservation. Building upon a comprehensive foundation in international development, I aspire to incorporate economic, sustainable, and agroecological principles to enhance our local food systems. This approach seeks to develop innovative and permanent solutions for the urgent agriculture and food security challenges we face in Canada.
At Community FEWD, I support efforts to reduce nutrient waste and improve food accessibility. My responsibilities include coordinating food recovery initiatives and assisting with meal planning, prepping, and distribution. I also contribute to fundraising efforts and support program logistics to ensure efficient operations. I am passionate about creating long-term sustainable food security and waste reduction solutions and creating a strong community.
