Local food sovereignty vulnerabilities evident in policy paper

More needs to be done to promote access to safe, healthy, local food according to a policy paper released jointly by the partners of the Bring Food Home Algoma Summit, which originally took place in 2019. The paper builds on learning from the summit, which brought together stakeholders in food security and agriculture to discuss how to strengthen local food systems, particularly in light of changes to the Canada Food Guide. The summit partnership consists of the Rural Agri-Innovation Network (RAIN), the United Way’s Harvest Algoma, Algoma Public Health, the Johnson Farmer’s Market, and NORDIK Institute.
