Food Sustainability

Britannia has identified food security as an important area of work recognizing that healthy, affordable, culturally appropriate, and sustainably produced food is a basic right for all community members.

Initiated in 2004, Grandview Woodland Food Connection is a neighbourhood organization dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of vulnerable populations in the Grandview Woodland neighbourhood by promoting an accessible, just and sustainable food system for our community.

 

Our work is firmly grounded in a community based approach that is inclusive, collaborative, action-oriented, and builds upon the community’s skills and strengths to create a local food system that is accessible, healthy and sustainable. Many of our projects are hands-on and empowering, providing new skills and knowledge which are the foundation of community capacity building.

 

Principal funding is generously provided by the Vancouver Coastal Health Community Food Action Initiative.
