Halifax Food Policy Alliance
Formed in 2013, the Halifax Food Policy Alliance (HFPA) is a multi-sectoral partnership of individuals and organizations working toward a common vision: Halifax: where no one is hungry and everyone has nutritious food that they enjoy, for generations to come, sustained by local producers. It is co-chaired by HRM and Ecology Action Centre.
We have recently launched the JustFood Action Plan, roadmap designed to enable the Municipality, organizations, communities, and other key actors to work together to build a healthy, just, and sustainable food system for the Halifax region. This plan follows 6 key principles: (1) governance, (2) social and economic equity, (3) food production, (4) food supply, processing, and distribution, (5) health, wellness, and resilience, (6) food waste
