Food Talk - From Surviving to Thriving
Food Talk: From Surviving to Thriving is a report of the Community Food Connections Association in support of the development of a community based approach to achieving both individual and community food security. The report is based on information gathered primarily through a series of focus groups completed over the fall and winter of 2006-2007, and primarily reflects the opinions of the citizens participating in this process. As well, where possible, factual information was gathered to further describe both the assets and weaknesses impacting food security in and around our community, and inform future action.
This new resource is a healthy eating resource that targets older Albertans, providing information, ideas, and an interactive component that encourages and supports healthier food choices.
