National Circle for Indigenous Agriculture & Food

The NCIAF is an Indigenous-led, non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of reconciliation in the agriculture industry and the creation of a national dialogue for Indigenous agriculture.  We are pathfinders that are passionate about removing barriers and delivering comprehensive solutions to Indigenous Peoples and communities.

NCIAF will create and maintain a necessary connection between the agriculture industry, government, and knowledge keepers to the Indigenous communities and peoples working to strengthen their food security and sovereignty; and enhance their role in helping to feed the world, while honouring their traditions, lands, and Mother Earth. NCIAF will generate positive change by focusing on business acceleration, increasing access to knowledge, strengthening business planning and management practices, and increasing access to capital. The development of training and education programs for Indigenous communities, peoples, and leaders will advance awareness of opportunities, policies, and planning. NCIAF will also support the non-Indigenous agriculture industry to implement reconciliation endeavours within their organizations.
