Food Action Committee of Ecology Action Centre, Halifax
Food is an integral part of everyday life. We all eat and every food choice we make affects farm communities. We want to support efforts to be more self-reliant in food within Nova Scotia. We also support ecological methods of food production.
Food Action Committee Objectives
To increase individual and collective food access and self-reliance in Nova Scotia.
Specifically we aim:
- to promote the social, economic, and environmental benefits of locally-produced food; and
- to promote socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable ways of growing, processing, and distributing food.
Food Action Committee's Main Activities
Present priorities, established by the group:
- Promote eating locally produced foods
- Research and education for the real (hidden) costs/benefits of food choices
- Connect with like-minded groups to celebrate the beauty of food production and consumption
