Access to Healthy Food for Children & Youth

Increasing Access to Healthy Food for Children and Youth – Where They Live and Learn: A “Stone Soup” Approach

 

The Poverty and Hunger Working Group, the Ottawa Network for Education and the Social Planning Council of Ottawa came together for this policy project to increase access to healthy food for children and youth.  The project provided a snapshot of the context in Ottawa and developed action plans to build on what already exists in the community - scaling up enablers and mitigating barriers to get more healthy food on the plates of Ottawa’s children and youth, particularly those living in low income.  The project was made possible through funding from the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
