Context
Since 2022, the Conseil des Atikamekw de Manawan (CDAM) has been pursuing an agri‑food development project in its community. An initial funding request was presented to the Secrétariat à la jeunesse du Québec (SAJ) in December 2022. In this context, the Centre for Social Innovation in Agriculture (CISA) is providing support services to the CDAM.
Project Objectives
This proposal aims to provide services to support the development of agri‑food projects in Manawan. The project includes a consultation process to:
- create a profile of the community’s food system,
- identify available resources, and
- develop an agri-food action plan.
In a second phase, support services will be provided to develop agricultural production infrastructure. CISA also offers facilitation and technical guidance to strengthen the active involvement of the community throughout the initiative.
