GFSA Buzz Current Projects: Advocating for a Universal School Food Strategy for Alberta 

Like many Albertans, we believe that all children living in Alberta have the right to nutritious food and a healthy lifestyle. We also think it’s important to teach younger generations the value of food that is nutritious and sustainably produced.

Growing Food Security in Alberta over the past 12 years has supported several food security/food sovereignty and community development projects in rural Alberta. Dietitians of Canada supported some of our financial requests for these projects.

Over 50 sites across Canada listened live in to the report on March 4 2013. Find out more at -->

Albertans are leaders, and with that leadership comes a provincial responsibility. Our province has a responsibility to ensure we can grow and produce food that will feed our own people. No different than our commitment to safe communities, health care and education, all Albertans deserve access to enough nutritious food to maintain an active and healthy life.
