On March 7th, 2023, Halifax Regional Council endorsed Part A of the JustFOOD Action Plan for the Halifax Region. Part A sets the stage for our regional food system, captures public engagement findings, and establishes 56 recommendations for positive food system change.
On February 6th of 2024, Regional Council endorsed Part B of the Plan. In March of 2024, the associated budget will go to Council for approval or modification. Part B is a practical document that presents the Implementation Strategies that will be used to advance the priority recommendations identified in Part A. The Implementation Strategies outline key milestones and next steps, confirm roles of key leads and partners; establish outcomes and performance measures; and articulate resourcing and budget requirements.
a Halifax Region where no one is hungry, where people and food are celebrated, where the local economy is strong, and the environment is protected for generations to come.
The JustFOOD Action Plan is co-led by the Halifax Regional Municipality and the Halifax Food Policy Alliance. Together, they form the backbone to support the collaborations and collective efforts needed to increase dignified access to good food and strengthen our local food system.
