In order to encourage building a stronger and more sustainable economy for Listugujewaq for the next seven generations to come, Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government is implementing a food sovereignty initiative by introducing the Listuguj Greenhouse Project. This will extend the current Listuguj Community Garden’s capacity to provide nutritious and organic sources of produce from seasonal to all year-round.
This sustainable agriculture initiative is the first step to addressing food insecurity within Listuguj by maintaining food self-sufficiency using green energy sources. Whether it be by encouraging community members to learn how to grow their own food through workshops, facility tours, and distributions by subscription food boxes and produce donations.
The SurveyMonkey questionnaire created below for the Listuguj Greenhouse Project will be used to gather important information and insight in regards to the intended produce to be grown, learning opportunities, community activities, & typical household grocery budget.
Paper versions of this survey can also be picked up at the post office & the completed surveys can be dropped off at the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government’s Administration Reception.
