COVID-19 has highlighted and exacerbated a number of systemic inequities that challenge Canada’s potential to build back better. One of those brought to the forefront has been food insecurity. Before the pandemic, 1 in 8 households in Canada was food insecure, with low-income communities and communities of colour being disproportionately impacted. Today, we’ll hear from four experts in the field to help us understand this interconnected and pressing issue. Today's guests are Dr. Valerie Tarasuk, University of Toronto; Jessica McLaughlin, Thunder Bay Area Food Strategy; Dr. Charles Levkoe, Lakehead University; and Melana Roberts, FoodSecure Canada.This episode was produced by Diana Lu, Jessica Pan, and Natasha Laponce
