Resetting the Table: A People’s Food Policy for Canada
This project is working with the food movement and others across Canada to analyse, organize, and support the development of policies for food sovereignty, instead of policies that support the globalized, industrialized food system. It will both reflect and support the work of Canadians to create a food system based on care and respect for humans and the natural world.
