SPARC BC Report - Who gets Sustenance? Community Voices Speak about Access to Local, Healthy Food (completed)

But still not everyone has access to good quality food. Underserved populations – particularly low income and single parent households, First Nations, new immigrants, seniors, and the homeless – face several systematic barriers to accessing healthy food, including unemployment and low income, rising food prices, and literacy barriers, amongst others. How can the positive advances of BC’s food security movement better support increased access to healthy food by underserved people?
The Grandview Woodland Food Connection partnered with SPARC BC in this research providing us a valuable opportunity to reflect on current programming and explore means of better addressing community food needs.
