Growing resilience and equity: A food policy and action plan in the context of Covid-19
This policy brief is grounded in analysis and policy proposals from social movements advancing food-system transformation. Covid-19 is revealing and magnifying the structural inequalities in our food systems, the insufficiencies of our social protection programs, and the challenges with the dominant food supply chains. Food insecurity in Canada is expected to double from the existing 4.4 million, with disproportionate impacts on Indigenous, Black and racialized communities.
