Food Secure Canada supports the following groups by hosting regular teleconference meetings.  In the near future we will be providing web-based information, forums and more!

• Provincial Food Networks - participants of this group are leaders in provincial or territorial networks.
• Northern Food Network - participants are all interested in advancing food security or food sovereignty in rural and remote communities.
• Chilren and Food Network - participants in this group are seeking to advance children and food issues including marketing to children, school nutrition and education, and more at provincial and federal levels.
