THE FUTURE HARVEST PARTNERSHIP

FHP is a multi-year research collaboration working to strengthen local food systems across the Northwest Territories. Wilfrid Laurier University, the Government of the Northwest Territories Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment, and the Territorial Agrifood Association are bringing together researchers, food producers, Indigenous partners, communities, and decision-makers, to support knowledge-sharing, innovation, and policy.

Why This Work Matters

Food systems in the North face unique challenges — from climate change and wildfires to transportation, access, and cost. The Future Harvest Partnership focuses on research that helps communities adapt, plan, and strengthen local food production and distribution in ways that reflect northern values and realities.
