Food Literacy Canada

A great example of how a food programs are about more than food skills and food access. Understanding and responding to racism in our food system is critical to #foodliteracy

Reducing household food waste requires food literacy attributes like food safety knowledge, food preparation skills, and confidence/self-efficacy. 94% Canadians are motivated to reduce their food waste, let's make sure everyone has the food literacy they need to achieve this goal lovefoodhatewaste.ca/get-inspired/food-waste-in-2020/

There's so much food all around us, but would you recognize it if you saw it? #foodliteracy https://gem.cbc.ca//s/deca635f-8261-4552-8ddf-e9eebc84ccab

Natural? Unsweetened? Reduced sodium? No salt added? Food labels are covered in terms that can be confusing and lead consumers to purchase products that aren't as healthy as they seem. Most of what you read on a food package is marketing. Become a label reading pro and expand your #foodliteracy www.inspection.gc.ca//unde/eng/1400530265966/1400530332584

It's a great time of year to visit a local community garden - just remember, programs like these support #foodliteracy not #foodinsecurity. https://www.odph.ca//food-lit-call-to-action-booklet-sept-
