Zawadi Connections was born to transform Toronto’s food landscape into a more sustainable, equitable, and community-driven system. Founded by passionate environmentalists, farmers, and community activists, our journey started by connecting local producers with urban consumers to create a more resilient food system
Our mission at Zawadi Connections is to nurture the bond between local farmers, producers, and the communities they serve. We aim to promote sustainable agricultural practices, enhance food security, and foster an understanding of the importance of local food systems for environmental and economic health.
We envision a future where every Toronto resident can access fresh, locally-grown food—a future where sustainable farming is the norm, not the exception. Zawadi Connections is committed to realizing this vision by catalyzing change in how our city thinks about and interacts with its food.
Since our inception, Zawadi Connections has made significant strides in promoting sustainable food practices in Toronto. From connecting with local market outlets to hosting educational workshops, we’ve created avenues for knowledge exchange, economic growth for local farmers, and greater food accessibility for communities. Our impact extends beyond the dinner table – it revitalizes local economies, educates future generations, and contributes to a healthier planet.
Your involvement is crucial. Whether you’re a local farmer seeking broader exposure, a community member eager to learn about sustainable food, or a volunteer wanting to make a difference, there’s a place for you at Zawadi Connections.

At Zawadi Connections, our work centers around creating a sustainable, equitable, and thriving food system in Toronto. Through various innovative and community-focused initiatives, we strive to make a lasting impact on how our city grows, consumes, and thinks about food.
We collaborate with local farmers to provide them with the tools, resources, and platforms needed to succeed. From organizing with markets to facilitating partnerships with food hub and businesses, our efforts ensure that local produce is celebrated and easily accessible to the Toronto community.
Sustainability is at the heart of our agricultural initiatives. We conduct workshops and training sessions on sustainable farming practices, focusing on organic farming, soil health, and biodiversity. These practices yield healthier produce and contribute to a healthier planet.
Our community programs aim to educate and engage. We host interactive workshops, cooking classes, and farm visits, providing hands-on experiences in sustainable living. These initiatives foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of our food sources among community members.
Food security is a cornerstone of our mission. We address food accessibility by distributing fresh produce to underprivileged communities and implementing initiatives like community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs. These efforts ensure that nutritious food is not a luxury but a standard for all.
Zawadi Connections is active in advocacy, aiming to influence food policies for the better. We engage with policymakers, stakeholders, and the public to promote laws and practices that support sustainable agriculture and equitable food systems.
The impact of our work is evident across Toronto. We have helped local farmers thrive, educated thousands of residents, and contributed to a greener, more sustainable city. Our journey is ongoing, and every step we take brings us closer to a sustainable food future.
