    Summary:

    It took 3,500 people almost three years to come up with A People's Food Policy for Canada (4.1 MB pdf, 2nd Edition, 2015). This grassroots response to the crises in our food systems – millions hungry, millions obese, declining numbers of farmers and fishers – offers a menu of workable policies that can put us on the right path.
