Like, I don’t think you hafta be some kinda wise sage To see that it really only makes sense to pay people enough that they can afford an existence Release Harvest: Report on 2015 Participatory Food Costing April 7, 2017 The Dartmouth North Community Centre began to fill up with an attentive audience on the morning of March 2 nd . Representatives from government, research, academic, and non-profit sectors as well as long-time FoodARC partners attended. Everyone received a double-sided infographic summarizing the report and we displayed life-size silhouettes of the five households representing the affordability scenarios that were examined in the report. The silhouettes were created to make the challenges of affording a healthy diet more tangible. Each was accompanied by a graphic illustration of the associated affordability scenario in the report and a quote from a previous FoodARC research participant to help illustrate the experience of food insecurity. Catherine Martin, Nancy Chair in Women’s Studies at the Mount, award-winning filmmaker, and Mi’kmaw woman from Creating a sense of possibility for shifts in policy to support healthy, just, and sustainable food systems for all in Nova Scotia.

FoodARC and partners hosted the release of a new report on 2015 Participatory Food Costing, the 7 th in a series of reports, on Thursday morning, March 2 nd , 2017 at the Dartmouth North Community Food Centre. Here’s what we want to share back with you: If you weren’t there, we want to show you what the event looked like. Photos We documented attendees’ reflections on the research and communicated them visually with this tool.
