Procedural equity and inclusion is foundational to local and regional market development in Minnesota.

Throughout this project, partners and stakeholders emphasized the importance for procedural equity to be embedded in each of the priority areas, and in every step of the work. Our data-informed strategies represent how we can engage, serve, collaborate, and invest in ways that prioritize and advance equity and inclusion in Minnesota’s markets and food system.

Relationship building with tribal nations, producers, and communities is needed to ensure that food systems development equitably serves all Minnesotans while supporting tribal food sovereignty.

Strategies:

  1. Build relationships with tribal nations to support future partnerships and collaboration, and ensure tribal perspectives are incorporated into local and regional market development.
  2. Engage with tribal leaders to learn if and how the MDA can support or assist in data collection, led by or conducted in partnership with tribal nations.
