Hello Meredith
Just in case this is what you are looking for the Public Health

a Food Security Toolkit that contains various resources available for loan

Subject: call for food security information


Could you please post this on the click4hp listserve...thank you


We are working on a research project on food security, at both a provincial
and national level, in Nova Scotia. For this project we are seeking
information on:

1.  Existing food security information packages and presentions, and public
education and advocacy tools.
2.  The process of influencing/developing healthy public policy.
3.  Engaging policy makers.
4.  Initiating food in/security and food policy discourse.

Any articles/reports/guides/tool-kits that you or your organization are
aware
of would be of great assistance. This also includes any information about
what
your organization may have done, or is presently doing. We are basically
looking for any information that you may have on HOW you have done the
things
you have done? What was learned from the process? And the clincher - What
would you recommend as a strategy (or best practices, if you will) to others
who are attempting to raise awareness and understanding, and ultimately
encourage policy action on an issue that is not widely recognized or
understood.

Please forward any information, or questions, that you may have to:
