In the first of two webinars hosted by the Canadian Nutrition Society, we will discuss population data on food insecurity prevalence and current trends; review the geographic and socio-demographic patterning of household food insecurity in Canada; examine how household food insecurity relates to dietary intakes, overweight and obesity, diet-related diseases, and health more broadly; and consider the relationship between households’ food insecurity status and their other financial needs and stressors. Finally, we will explore the implications of these learnings for health care providers and intervention in clinical settings.
Speaker: Valerie Tarasuk, PhD (University of Toronto)
Moderator: Malek Batal, PhD (Université de Montréal)
The follow-up webinar on Feb 17, 2022 will discuss public policy responses and solutions to household food insecurity.
