SUMMARY - Food Insecurity and Access in Urban and Rural Communities
In a country that produces enough food to feed far more than its population, millions of Canadians struggle to access adequate nutrition. Food banks report record demand.

Food insecurity isn't about productionâit's about access, distribution, and the economic structures that determine who eats well and who goes hungry.
