Food Security & Canada's Aging Population
We rarely associate Canada with food deprivation and food insecurity. But, as our population is aging, and the proportion of people aged 65 and older is increasing the prevalence of those in older populations experiencing food insecurity is rising. Food insecurity not only focuses on the shortage of food but the uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate food.

The Power of Plant-Based Meals
A plant-based diet is an eating pattern that primarily consists of foods from plant sources such as fruit and vegetables, nuts and seeds, whole grains, legumes and beans.
