In 2021, 5.8 million people, including 1.4 million children, in the 10 provinces lived in food-insecure households. Now with record inflation, we can expect food insecurity to worsen if incomes of vulnerable households don’t keep up.

@proofcanada Thanks for 10 years of dedicated research on food insecurity! Do you have any ideas/resources we can look to for ways that produce gleaning projects might better support food justice and equity within the food system?

[OK FruitTreeProject @OKFruit]

This great article by Rafter Ferguson, discusses how the themes of justice and sustainability must go hand in hand in order to dismantle systems that harm both people and our ecosystems. #foodjustice #sustainability https://t.co/CXjScysNWi

[Dietitians for Food Justice @RDs4foodjustice]

People shouldn't have to choose between paying rent & affording food, grocery shop at dollar stores, or skip meals to feed their children enough...

People should have the right to food.

Retweet if you agree!

Food security is complex. We know food donations won't solve the systemic issues behind food insecurity, but OFTP is proud to help increase the flow of stigma-free, healthy produce to communities at risk of food insecurity in the Okanagan. #foodaccess https://t.co/kFnJVkXD00

“How we share meals, recipes, traditions and cooking methods is vital to the preservation of any culture, including ours.”
