Initiated by the Victoria Foundation, the Integral Strategy Action Group led a diverse group through a process to create the Collaborative Road Map for Achieving Community Food Security in the Capital Region District.
Capital Region -
Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable:
CR-FAIR, formed in 1997, is a coalition of organizations and individuals working to strengthen regional food security and our local food system, from farm gate to dinner plate. The Community Social Planning Council is the legal sponsor of CR-FAIR. CR-FAIR's mission is to increase knowledge of and bring about positive change in the food and agriculture system within the Capital Region.
This includes:
increasing the viability of farming
reducing hunger
increasing the supply, consumption and diversity of locally produced processed food
increasing our community’s knowledge and involvement with food and agriculture issues
Financial support for this project provided by Vancouver Island Health Authority's "Community Food Action Initiative" through ActNow BC - the government of BC’s investment in promoting healthy choices through a partnership-based, community-focused approach to improve nutrition, increase physical activity & reduce tobacco use.
