Toward Nutrition Equity: Canada’s Wicked Food Problem

Health advocates are increasingly called to consider the role food plays in health inequity in Canada as well as Canada’s role in addressing global food (in)justice. This course applies techniques for addressing “wicked problems” to explore the ways in which food security, food sovereignty, Indigenous food sovereignty, food warfare, and food democracy are intertwined.
