About: The Ottawa Food Action Plan was a community response to local food issues and concerns. The Action Plan Proposals are community solutions based on research and evidence, and the document is a living document.
The Food Action Plan is a product of the Food for All Project. Food for All provided the structure, supports and resources, linkages between academic researchers, community partners and organizations, and a forum to explore food issues together. These proposals have been written, researched, and edited largely by community members.
