There has been a long history of food security work in Nova Scotia. What do we mean by food security? There are many definitions on food security. The NS Food Security Network and Steering Committee describes food security as a situation that exists when:
"all people, at all time, have access to sufficient, nutritious, safe, personally acceptable and culturally appropriate foods that are produced, procured and distributed in ways that are environmentally sound, socially just and sustainable"
Many groups have been working on this issue for many years. The Nova Scotia Food Security Network and Steering Committee has resulted from the work of several groups. It is a network of individuals and organizations that have expressed interest in working to build food security in Nova Scotia.
Our core values:
- Participatory
- Inclusiveness
- Collaborative
