Food Security NetworkOur province faces many challenges including:
• We produce only 10% of fresh vegetables and have
only a 2 - 3 day supply of fresh vegetables available;
• The average age of farmers in the province is 55;
• It is difficult to access local seafood;
• We have the lowest consumption of fresh vegetables
in Canada;
• We have the highest rate of food bank usage in
Canada;
• We have the highest rate of obesity in Canada and
the second highest rate of diabetes in Canada.

the Ivory Coast)• Latin America supplies North America, Africa supplies Europe• Demand for cheap cocoa• Burkina Faso & Mali: trafficking of abducted children,
enslavement, lack of education, dangerous work environment, never see family again

Food Ethics:
Vote with your fork
“Food justice seeks to ensure that the benefits and risks of where, what and how food is grown, produced, transported, distributed, accessed and eaten are shared fairly. Food justice represents a transformation of the current food system, including but not limited to eliminating disparities and inequities.”
Robert Gottlieb & Joshi Anupama, Food Justice
