On Friday April 29, 2022, Nourish Leadership gathered with 33 leaders from ten provinces and territories, coming from diverse roles in food and health systems. Participants heard from experts from dietetics, academia, community food organizations, and elsewhere about promising policy openings for an integrated health response to food insecurity.
This workshop was part of Nourish Leadership's continuing work to identify policy innovations in the health care system and connected areas. The first Food for Health workshop was in 2018, and invited health officials from provincial, territorial and Indigenous governments across the country to learn about innovative Canadian and international approaches to food in health care and discuss key policy-ready opportunities.
