Rates of food insecurity in Canada are at historic levels: nearly 10 million people, including 2.4 million children, live in food-insecure households. Behind these numbers are parents skipping meals so their children can eat, people worrying about where their next meal will come from, and families forced to choose between buying groceries and paying rent.
In a country as wealthy as Canada, this crisis is indefensible. When almost one in four people are food insecure, our response must match the scale of the crisis.
Right To Food is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to commit to reducing food insecurity by 50% and tackling severe food insecurity by 2030.

Right To Food is calling on your government to commit to reducing food insecurity in Canada by 50% and tackling severe food insecurity by 2030.
A clear, measurable national target would create urgency, establish accountability, and ensure governments can be held responsible for making progress.
We urge you to make this commitment and take the decisive action needed to build a Canada where everyone can realize their right to food.
