THE SIMCOE COUNTY FOOD SECURITY FRAMEWORK

The goal of the Simcoe County Food Security Framework is to help increase awareness, coordination, and development of initiatives designed to enhance food security at the community and household levels across Simcoe County. The Framework informs the public of local food security projects underway and builds upon key achievements, such as the 2013 endorsement of the Simcoe County Food and Agriculture Charter. The Framework also seeks alignment with the consultation results of the provincial Food Security Strategy and is designed to further enhance and support the work undertaken by the previous provincial government.
