The Lunch Table
The Lunch Table is hosted by the Food Secure Canada Youth Caucus; a network of youth dedicated to mobilizing young persons and advancing the dialogue around food security issues across Canada. The Lunch Table provides a platform for youth to collaborate, discuss, learn, and mobilize with peers and food policy leaders to build a sustainable and just food system through activism and policy. By bringing together diverse perspectives, interests and backgrounds, we envision what zero-hunger, sustainable food systems, and healthy and safe food looks like in communities across the nation.
