What Canadians are saying about this event
“What Olivier de Schutter’s report has made clear ahead of 2015, and the expiry of the Millennium Development Goals, is that we can no longer look at issues like the right to food, or poverty and inequality, as something that we just need to tackle in Niger or Pakistan or Haiti. We need to address it here in Canada too. The North-South dichotomy has collapsed. Food insecurity is a global phenomenon that requires a national and global response.” Julia Sanchez, President and CEO, Canadian Council for International Cooperation, Ottawa.
The Conversation with the United Nations about the Right to Food In Canada would not be possible without your support. We would like to extend a special thanks to:

Let your MP know that Canada urgently needs a National Food Policy to ensure the Right to Food.
Let's start now by putting food in the budget!
A National Food Policy is an important part of coordinating efforts to fix our broken food system and also ensuring the right to food for everyone. The government can take an important first step by putting food in the budget. The People's Food Policy is the most comprehensive food policy being advanced in Canada. We want the government to initiate a process that will bring all actors to the table to develop a policy that will address everyone's needs.
