Food Futures Cowichan Food Futures Cowichan was created to act as a basis for a much-needed local food security infrastructure. Key elements include the identification of local resources and needs assessments for improving community food security. Food Futures Cowichan involves a series of activities and initiatives including a media campaign to raise awareness of food security issues in the Cowichan region. These include: FruitSave: a program to identify non-commercial fruit grown in Cowichan and create the infrastructure to organize the harvesting, distribution and storage of donated fruit; Garden Link: creating community gardens and connecting homeowners/schools with interested gardeners and volunteers; Greenest Garden Contest: (pilot): a highly publicized community challenge to showcase sustainable urban gardening practices; and Food Chain: web page listing all things food security in the Valley.
