Study Notes
Food Insecurity
- Food insecurity is a chronic, systemic issue, not just the absence of food.
- It involves limited or no access to nutritionally adequate and culturally appropriate food from reliable sources.
- Household food insecurity is the inability of households to access enough culturally acceptable food without resorting to emergency food systems.
- In Canada, one in six children experience food insecurity and Nova Scotia has the highest rate.
- Food insecurity is a structural problem, often linked to income poverty, disproportionately affecting lower-income households.
Poverty and Social Exclusion
- Poverty and food insecurity are often linked.
- People in lower income brackets are more likely to experience food insecurity.
- Social exclusion is the inability to use mainstream institutions, like grocery shops, and relying on emergency food systems.
- In Canada, both absolute and relative poverty contribute to social exclusion.
Community and National Food Security
- Community food security is when all community members have access to sufficient, healthy and culturally appropriate food.
- It's linked to social justice and sustainable food systems.
- National food security is the right of communities and countries to control their food production and consumption systems.
Right to Food
- Food is a human right, recognized in international law.
- Key elements of the right to food include adequacy, availability, accessibility and sustainability.
Food Insecurity in Canada
- Despite having a legal obligation to protect food as a human right, Canada still faces significant gaps.
- Emergency food services (food banks, pantries, etc.) are a short-term solution, not addressing the root causes of food insecurity.
Global Food Insecurity and Food Justice: Causes of Global Hunger
- Global food insecurity is also impacted by human disasters, political turmoil, natural disasters, and unsustainable food systems.
- Technology (like the green revolution) and global trade (e.g., developed countries' subsidies and overproduction) further exacerbate food insecurity.
