Shorter Highlights Report – National Environmental Scan of Strategies for Influencing Policy to Build Food Security
This report highlights findings from a national environmental scan which examined past and current strategies used to influence policy related to food security. The scan was conducted by the Nova Scotia Nutrition Council/Atlantic Health Promotion Research Centre Food Security Projects under the guidance of a National Advisory Committee, representing organizations across Canada concerned about food security. Although not inclusive of all initiatives in Canada, this report begins to paint the landscape of strategies used by community, government, and professional groups to influence policy at various levels to build food security.
