People’s Food Policy Project Launches

The People’s Food Policy Project (PFPP), a national network of food-concerned citizens and organisations, released Resetting the Table: A People’s Food Policy for Canada, a report outlining a federal food sovereignty policy.

Resetting the Table calls for a federal food policy that ensures Canadians healthy, local food, supports producers, involves the public in decision-making and creates a children’s food policy. â€œOur food system is failing us,” said Amanda Sheedy, PFPP coordinator. “Close to two and a half million Canadians regularly don’t have enough to eat, thousands of family farms are disappearing, one in four Canadians is considered obese, and the environment is being pushed to the limit. The status quo is no longer an option.”
