Since June 2007, the Manitoba Climate Change Action Fund (MCCAF) has supported Manitoba Aboriginal and Northern Affairs’ Northern Healthy Foods Initiative (NHFI). Funding in the amount of $75,000.00 annually for a three-year period beginning in 2007 was approved to support the development of a broad range of food self-sufficiency projects in remote communities to effectively decrease dependence on air and land freight shipments of food, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Projects benefiting from this support include: northern greenhouses, composting and an energy efficient freezer program.
