In response to alarming rates of food insecurity, especially in the north, a declining food processing sector, growing rates of diet-rated disease, and concerns over greenhouse gas emissions attributed to our food supply chains, the Canada federal government is currently developing a Food Policy for Canada. How might an integrated Food Policy for Canada address these and other pressing food issues while moving our food system towards greater sustainability, equity and health? This round-table will explore the challenges and opportunities this policy presents in relation to governance. Featuring leading academic, industry, civil society and government thinkers, we’ll explore key principles and innovative governance models that bring together municipalities, provinces, territories, the federal government and Indigenous governments, alongside civil society actors, producers and other food system players, workers and researchers. This round-table is hosted by Prof. Peter Andree from Carleton’s Political Science Department in collaboration with Food Secure Canada.
