Food insecurity in Canada is the worst it's ever been. #TemertyMed Prof. Valerie Tarasuk & Tim Li write about needed solutions @ConversationCA https://t.co/NwokahZ4cf

Yesterday, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador announced a new poverty reduction plan, which includes a new #BasicIncome program for income assistance recipients aged 60-64 that would bring their income support up to the level of OAS and GIS https://t.co/IFFqvU5sja (1/6)

"To support the fight against food insecurity in this country is to make sure that they're paying their workers adequately, and that they're food secure employers.

That's the most important thing that a company like Metro can do." - Dr. Valerie Tarasuk

[PROOF @proofcanada]

We submitted a brief to the Senate on how basic income could reduce food insecurity and improve health.

Considering food insecurity reduction as a policy objective isn't only relevant for designing a basic income, but for all income supports.

ICYMI: Earlier this month, StatCan released new data on food insecurity, collected in 2022. The new numbers show that food insecurity has worsened during this period of inflation, with 6.9 million people in the 10 provinces affected.

One thing we would've liked to see in #Budget2023 was targeted enhancements to Canada Child Benefit, like extending extra amount for children <6 to all families w/ children.

Our new research found the extra money makes a difference for food insecurity: https://t.co/yJkhFm9U7q

"2023 federal #budget is heading in the right direction, but falls short of taking the necessary steps to address food insecurity," write Valerie Tarasuk & Tim Li via @ConversationCA

Découvrez comment @DrFMen , Tim Li & équipe ont examiné les différentes définitions de l’insécurité alimentaire selon les pays, trouvant qu’un nombre de ménages en insécurité alimentaire au Canada seraient considérés comme étant en sécurité alimentaire selon... 1/2

Tim Li & @DrFMen's snapshot highlights research that examined countries' differing definitions for food insecurity, finding that a non-trivial amount of food-insecure households in Canada would be considered food secure by US standards. Read here: https://t.co/QBaXAR7Kna

[PROOF @proofcanada]

How could the federal government reduce food insecurity for families w/ children?

Increase CCB benefit for low-income families. It could even be a cost-neutral change if CCB currently going to very high-income families was retargeted to low-income ones.

[PROOF @proofcanada]

🚨 Our new study, led by @DrFMen, found that the additional money provided to families with younger children through the CCB lowers their risk of food insecurity - yet another piece of evidence that modest increases in income reduce food insecurity. (1/5) https://t.co/yJkhFm9mhS
