Advocacy
The solution to food insecurity is not more food. The reality is that the root causes of food insecurity are structural and systemic, and significant policy change from all levels of government is required to make any real change. We invite you to explore our resources to learn more about food insecurity, see what Feed Nova Scotia is doing, and take your own action to advocate for dignified, secure, and just food access for all.
