Caledon Farmer Among Climate Activists Challenging Canada Pension Plan Manager
Rav Singh began farming vegetables in Caledon five years ago after years as an environmental educator, seeing it as a way to honor her heritage. Her parents were farmers in India before moving to Canada. For Singh, reconnecting with the land was a return to her roots, growing many traditional foods her family has consumed for centuries.
“I just felt really called to connect with the land on a very deep level and to grow food for people,” Singh told The Pointer.
She aimed to respect her ancestral ties to farming, ensuring those seeking cultural foods like okra and bitter melon had the same access as those buying more common vegetables such as tomatoes or cucumbers.
At 27, she founded Shade of Miti—“miti” meaning soil in Hindi and Punjabi—honoring her ancestors and her belief that the planet's health starts with the soil beneath us.
Summary
Rav Singh’s farming work blends cultural heritage with climate justice, emphasizing the importance of soil health and access to traditional foods.
