Food choices are deeply personal. We eat what we know and like, what tastes good, and what we can afford.
But we don’t eat in a bubble.
We eat what our friends and families prefer. We shop and eat and drink when and where we commute. We eat where we live and work and play and learn. We choose foods in our neighbourhoods. We choose in our food systems, communities, and the economy.
Food is not an individual matter. Food shopping, and our food environments, are important issues for public policy. We partnered with the Halifax-based PLANifax Production Cooperative to show you why.
