Typical Use Case

To assist Native communities in reclaiming local food systems, First Nations developed the Food
Sovereignty Assessment Tool (FSAT) in 2004. Supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the FSAT was developed to demystify the process of data collection on local food systems and to provide tools and a framework for Native communities to measure and assess food access, land use and food policy in their
communities. Since its development, First Nations has provided hundreds of trainings on the FSAT and it
has been used around the world in other Indigenous communities.
