Adequate fibre intake is important to support our health and well-being; however, most Canadians are only consuming half of their daily recommended intake.

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.

Food Security in Canada - Indigenous Communities

The right to adequate food is an internationally recognized human right.

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. Contrary to popular beliefs, a plant-based diet does not necessarily mean excluding all animal-based foods, but rather incorporating plant-based foods more often. Plant-based ingredients provide a variety of vitamins and minerals to contribute to a healthy diet.
