To those of you that joined us at Dig In 2.0: Atlantic Food Systems Summit, thank you for showing up and sharing your energy, passion, ideas, and dedication to collaboration in building stronger, more equitable food systems rooted in justice, sustainability, and community care. Last weekend highlighted the urgency needed to dismantle systemic racism, colonialism, and inequity in our food systems.

This is ongoing, collective work–we’re grateful for your honesty, courage, and commitment. Thank you for your engagement and feedback—we look forward to continuing this work and journey together.

We welcome your feedback and encourage you to email us at [email protected]

À toutes les personnes qui ont participé à Dig In 2.0 : Sommet des systèmes alimentaires de l’Atlantique, nous vous remercions d’avoir été là et d’avoir partagé votre énergie, votre passion, vos idées et votre engagement envers une collaboration visant à construire des systèmes alimentaires plus solides et équitables, ancrés dans la justice, la durabilité et le soin communautaire. Le week-end dernier a souligné l’urgence de démanteler le racisme systémique, le colonialisme et les inégalités dans nos systèmes alimentaires.

Ce travail collectif est en constante évolution et nous sommes reconnaissant·e·s pour votre honnêteté, votre courage et votre dévouement. Merci pour votre participation et vos retours. Nous sommes impatient·e·s de continuer ce travail et ce cheminement ensemble.

Vos commentaires sont précieux et nous vous invitons à nous écrire à [email protected].

💚🥕

Small does not mean insignificant. We need more people practicing "buy local" imperfectly more than we need a few people doing it really well.

$5/week = $260/year
$10/week = $520/year
$20/week = $1,040/year
$50/week = $2,600/year
$100/week = $5,200/year

This is what weekly spending (and direct investment!) at your local market could amount to over the course of a year. Together, we know this can make a big impact and contribute towards import replacement.
