There is a need to deal with the challenges of food insecurity. One such way is through a new engagement with food--an engagement that creates new approaches to enhance sustainable food systems. Cultivating new approaches to understanding the concept of food security and building and enhancing sustainable food systems starts with building knowledge and awareness of current global, national, and local food practices through education. Educational systems and teachers play a key role in contributing to broadening understandings of food security and insecurity as well as the potential to foster action toward attaining ecological and sustainable, just food systems.
In this book, Alishia Valeri focuses on the example of Canada to explore the possibilities of tackling food insecurity through efforts in the education system.
