Challenge

Food insecurity is reaching record high rates across Canada

Fuelled by rising food prices, food bank use rose to its highest level in 2022 according to Food Banks Canada. When times get tough, Canadians tend to reach for lower priced packaged foods, ones that are likely to be more processed and less healthy. Because of this, a major challenge facing Canadians today is how to afford healthy food when it feels increasingly out of reach.
