When access to good food is treated as a right, not a privilege, we can begin to imagine a food system built on equity and care rather than charity.
In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, our guest, Marissa Alexander, Co-Executive Director at Food Secure Canada, joins us to talk about what food sovereignty really means in Canada. She explains why solving hunger requires systemic change and how equity, policy, and community leadership must shape the way forward.
You’ll hear how local campaigns like Eat Think Vote connect grassroots voices to federal policy, and why rethinking philanthropy and challenging corporate-driven models are essential to building lasting solutions.
