There has long been a call for a National Food Policy in Canada, and the recent launch of the National Food Policy Advisory Council signals that this is finally becoming a reality.

In this webinar, Tamarack and the Maple Leaf Centre for Action on Food Security was joined by Evan Fraser, Jessica McLachlan, Paul Taylor and Sasha McNicoll as they discussed the role of different sectors in moving from short-term, downstream responses to long-term, systemic solutions that build capacity, enable COVID recovery and increase resiliency.
