HRM and the first food action plan

Part A of a project that has been years in the making was given the go-ahead by Halifax Regional Municipality this week. It’s an initiative to address the fact that HRM has a household food insecurity index that is higher than the provincial and national average at 18.6 percent. This Action Plan for Food is about helping producers and consumers come together in a time where there are supply chain and geographical access issues. More Vail is the Community Food coordinator with the Ecology Action Centre, the agency that was a co-chair in the development of the plan from the beginning.
