What if Quebec’s new food innovation were a law?
What if one of Québec’s most ambitious food innovations were a law? On World Food Day, The Depot and community organizations across Québec are calling on the new government to move beyond short-term responses to food insecurity and take lasting action. Fifty years after Canada recognized the right to adequate food, it’s time to make that right a reality for everyone.
