Description:
Please join PROOF and CDPAC for a second webinar on household food
insecurity. In this webinar, we will delve into the question of what drives
vulnerability to household food insecurity in Canada. Drawing on the wealth
of Canadian data collected during more than a decade of food insecurity
monitoring, we will examine the social and economic circumstances of food
insecure households and look at what has been found to underpin changes in
household food insecurity status over time. We will also discuss the
relationship between food insecurity and health, considering the evidence of
a bidirectional relationship for some conditions. The interpretation of
these findings by Dietitians of Canada in their recent Position Statement
and Recommendations - Addressing Household Food Insecurity in Canada
<http://www.dietitians.ca/Dietitians-Views/Food-Security/Household-Food-Inse
curity.aspx>  will also be shared as a platform for policy and practice
recommendations.

A recording will be made available after the webinar

Many thanks,
