SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE & FOOD SYSTEMS SOCIETY

About

The SAFS Society is a student club founded in 2014 that partners with the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems program at Trent University. Our mission is to create a community for Trent students to engage and deepen their understanding of food sovereignty and regenerative agriculture. We believe in truly democratic and equitable food systems, locally, regionally and globally, and maintain that quality, healthful and culturally appropriate food is a basic human right.

We run projects such as the Trent Market Garden, which is an experiential learning environment and thriving food production hub that is operated by and for the university community. Located on Trent’s Experimental Farm, it is a student-run social enterprise that utilizes holistic, and agro-ecological practices.

SAFSS endeavors to be a network of support for the campus food system. We create an inclusive space for students, faculty, and the broader community to grow food, nurture research opportunities, ecological stewardship, and implement consent-based decision making skills that allow our community to blossom.
