Food Security Hub Project 4
Introduction“Foodsecurityexistswhenallpeople,atall times,havephysicalandeconomicaccesstosufficient,safeandnutritiousfoodtomeettheirdietaryneedsandfoodpreferencesforanactiveandhealthylife.”(FoodandAgricultureOrganizationoftheUnitedNations,1996)
(source:CCHS,StatsCan2017)
Twelve percent of Canadians experience food insecurity (Canadian Community HealthSurveyData[CCHS],StatsCan2011to2014).Whilefoodinsecuritycanoccuratallincomelevels, it ismostprevalentforthosewithlowerincomes.Whenapersonorhouseholdhaslowincome,thefixedexpensessuchashousingandutilitiesareadvisedtobepaidfirstasmaintaininghousingisapriority.Theremainderofanyfundsisusedforvariableexpensessuchasfood,clothing,transportationandrecreation.Formanyfamilies,whenfacedwithabudgetshortfall,itisthefoodbudgetthatgetscut.Thismeansthatfamiliesandindividualsareeatingpoorlyornotatall.InGreyandBruceCounties,almost1in5childrenliveinalowincomehousehold(CCHS,StatsCan2017),and20%ofhouseholdsarefoodinsecure(CCHS,StatsCan2017).
“Food insecurity negatively affects humanphysical, social, emotional, and cognitivedevelopment throughout the life course and is a major social and environmentaldisruptorwith serious repercussions for planetary health (i.e., the health of humancivilizationandthestateofthenaturalsystemsonwhichitdepends).”

Food Security Hub Project
DefiningtheissueThis project observed a variety of communityopportunitiestorespondtofoodinsecurity.Eachoftheparticipating communities identified unique barriers and assets. However, some universalinfluences were also noted. It is important to recognize major factors from this broaderpicture given the degree towhich local food systems are impacted by provincial, federal,andglobalfactors.
Themostprevalentofthesesystemicissueswastheroleofpovertyorprecariousincomesinfoodinsecurity.Householdfoodinsecurityisverytightlytiedtoincomeandthelowertheincome,thegreaterriskoffoodinsecurity(PROOF,2018).
Thisconnectionisseenaroundtheworld.On25September2015,UnitedNationsadoptedthe 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the2030 Agenda for SustainableDevelopment (UN General Assembly, 70th Session, 2015). Canada has committed to workingtowards these goals and local communities can help support this movement. Nationally,Canadahasdeveloped the FoodPolicy forCanadawithelements thatwill directly impactlocalfoodproducersandcommunityprograms(Canada,2017).ThepolicyincludesspecificactiononfoodinsecuritythatmayhelpCanadameetitscommitmentstotheSDGs.Figure1depictshowareductionoffoodinsecuritywouldcontributetoachievingtheUNSustainableDevelopment Goals (SDG). SDG #2 specifically calls for ending hunger, achieving foodsecurityandimprovednutrition,andpromotingsustainableagricultureglobally.

Food Security Hub Project 6
OurCurrentModelFoodbanks and related charity have become an ingrained strategy to feed the hungry inCanadian communities.When food banks began in the 1980’s they weremeant to be atemporarysolutionduringthatrecession.Foodbanks,however,neverclosedandarenotalongtermsolutiontofoodinsecurity.
Foodcharitydoesnotaddressorsolve therootcausesof food insecurity.FoodBanksaredistributing record amounts of food, but the underlying causes of food insecurity are notbeingaddressed,andcannotbeaddressedthroughafoodcharitymodel.Unfortunately,thecharitablenatureoftheseresponsescanworsenexperiencesofstigmaandisolationrelatedtofoodinsecurity(OntDietitiansinPublicHealth,2015).
TheFoodSecurityHub1projectwascreatedinresponsetoacalloutbyUnitedWayofBruceGrey for projects thatwould enhance food security. It is supportedby the Food SecurityAction Group (FSAG), facilitated by the Grey Bruce Sustainability Network and funded byUnitedWay of Bruce Grey. The FSAG created the Food Security Hub Project in order tofacilitate networking across agencies and partners in Grey Bruce to identify local andcommonneedsandopportunities in foodsecurityservices.TheFSAG,aworkinggroupofthe Bruce Grey Poverty Task Force, promotes the Community Food Centre Model as apromisingpracticeforcommunityfoodprogrammingandiscommittedtosupportinglocalcharitablefoodorganizationsintheiradoptionoftheCFCprinciples.
ANewModelThe model of Community Food Centers (CFCs) is demonstrating a more comprehensiveresponsetofoodsystemissuesasdemonstratedbyTheStopCFC(Toronto,ON),TheLocalCFC(Stratford,ON),and9otherlocationsacrossCanada.
CommunityFoodCentersare takingthe foodbankmodel to thenext levelbyredesigningprogramsandservicestooperateonthefoundationsofhealthsocialjustice,belongingandadvocacy.Seehttps://cfccanada.caformoreinformation.

Food Security Hub Project
FoodSecurityHubProject-Phase1and2OutcomesIn2017,theFSAGfacilitatedmeetings inMarkdale,Meaford,andTobermorythatbroughttogether stakeholders in local food security programs and services, communitymembersand government officials. The South East Grey Community Health Center and theFleshertonFoodBankhostedthemeeting inMarkdale,GoldenTownOutreachhostedtheMeetinginMeaford,andTheMeetingPlaceandtheWomen’sInformationNetworkhostedthemeetinginTobermory.
Thesemeetingspromptedsuccessfulcommunityprojectssuchasafoodgleaningprogram,community gardensandpartnershipswith thehosting foodbanks inDundalk, Flesherton,Markdale andMeaford. Technical gardening and food gleaning supportwas identified asneeded during the meetings and was offered by Jaden Calvert as a Food SecurityCoordinatorfundingbythePTFbasedonhisskillsfromGoldenTownOutreach.InMarkdale,thesemeetingssupportedtheongoingworkoftheSouthEastGreyHealthyKidsCommunityChallengewhichaimedtosupportgreatervegetable, fruit,andwaterconsumptionamongchildren.
SupportforsomeoftheseprojectswasprovidedbytheUnitedWaythroughgrantsfundedbytheCommunityFoundationGreyBruce.
In2019,theFoodSecurityHubProjectexpandedtheconversationstofiveadditional localcommunities. With funding fromUnitedWayGreyBruce, theFSAGwasable to schedulemeetings in Dundalk, Kincardine, Wiarton, Saugeen Shores, and the Town of the BlueMountains.

RegionalThemesAcross all 5 communities the Food Security Hub Project facilitators heard some recurringthemesaroundfoodsecurity/insecurity:
● Transportation: Lack of public transit and affordable transportation is a commonbarriertopeopleaccessinghealthy,affordable,andappropriatefoodintherelativelysmallercommunitiesofGreyCountyandBruceCounty.
● GoodFoodBox:thereisadesiretoincreasetheparticipationintheGoodFoodBoxandraiseawarenessthatitisuniversal
● Income Insecurity: The lack of universal basic income and income security are aprimary cause of food insecurity, especially in communities that depend on aseasonaltourismindustry.
● Stigma:Thestigmaofaccessingfoodcharityisanongoingchallengethatsomefoodcharities work to address through reducing the income screening frequency,eliminatingline-ups,andbymaintainingdiscretion.
● Access:Itisdifficultandexpensivetoaccessfresh,localproduceyearround.Partofthisiscausedbysmallertownshavingasinglegrocerwithnocompetition.
● Ontario Student Nutrition Programs: There is limited information available in thecommunityaboutwhatishappeningintheschoolswiththeOntarioStudentNutritionPrograms. There may be an opportunity for schools to communicate with theircommunity and for schools to network amongst themselves to sharemethods/strategies.
● Interpersonal Relationships: At the organizational level of community groups andnonprofits, it is also worth noting that the history and dynamics of interpersonalrelationshipscanhaveanaffectontheabilityofgroups tocollaborate.Thirdpartyfacilitation is helpful in mediating these relationships and facilitating action.Howeverthereisalsothefeelingthatathirdparty/regionalfacilitatorisanoutsidertryingto“fix”localproblemswithwhichtheyholdnoexpertisein.
