Supporting Institutions in Optimizing Canada’s Food Guide
Canada’s recent Food Guide and Dietary Guidelines recommend a plant-forward pattern of eating, which research suggests would greatly help to improve health and environmental outcomes (as well as animal welfare). Humane Society International/Canada and World Animal Protection advocate for policies and practices to support plantforward eating. This project advances their important work by:
1. Examining procurement to identify opportunities to improve well-being in provincial institutions – long-term care, nursing homes, day cares, colleges, universities, and hospitals?
2. Supporting the development of research and compelling information to support a transition to a sustainable food future.
3. Analyzing institutional practices, like procurement and communications, for opportunities to leverage to enhance human, animal, and planetary health through agriculture and food systems.
