As the Nova Nourishment team at the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus, we aimed to improve food security and sovereignty within the Dal AC community by leveraging existing resources such as the Cultiv8 student-led farm and student-run food pantry. By cultivating easy-to-grow crops like tomatoes, squash, and beans and preserving them as jams and pickles, the initiative seeks to provide nutritious food year-round. Community engagement through testing and feedback ensures the initiative meets the needs of students and faculty. With a focus on long-term sustainability, the initiative aims to leave a lasting impact for future generations, though areas for further exploration including recipe diversification, education, collaboration with faculty and staff, and ensuring accessibility and inclusivity.
