Who’s Hungry: Exploring Food Insecurity in Canada
Food bank visits in the City of Toronto have increased by 340% since 2019, and across Canada food bank visits are rising. Why is this happening? How can we help?
Feature Reporter Joeita Gupta set out to find an answer for us. While it may not be as straightforward as we would like, there are still things we can do to support our fellow Canadians during a time when putting food on our tables is getting increasingly more difficult, and impossible for some.
Rose Butler, Interim Vice President of Research and Advocacy at the Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto shares some of the most recent statistics from the food bank and tells us how the Daily Bread Food Bank ensures its visitors receive balanced, nutritional meal support.
Dr. Jessica Agnew is the Associate Director of the Global office in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Virginia Tech. Dr. Agnew is also the Managing Editor of the Global Agricultural Productivity Support and explains how supply chains can impact food insecurity in Canada.
Pauline Cripps is the Community Food Lead at the Arrell Food Institute at the University of Guelph. She has almost a decade of experience working in food banks and teaches us about what a resilient food system is.
