Join Professors Valerie Tarasuk and Herb Emery (University of New Brunswick) as they continue the discussion on household food insecurity in Canada, in the second of two Canadian Nutrition Society webinars on the issue.

This webinar will draw on findings from Canadian research and recent international comparative studies to interrogate the relationship between the prevalence and severity of household food insecurity and social policy, considering family and child benefits, wages, pensions, housing and food subsidies, and the public funding of charitable food assistance programs. Building on this body of evidence, we will discuss key elements of effective policy responses to address food insecurity in Canada, considering the centrality of income security to this problem.
