"In an era where food security remains a critical global concern, innovation and creativity are required to bridge the gaps between abundance and scarcity. We talk a lot about our program, Rescue Food, as our volunteers are moving food *almost* every single day from commercial sources - but did you know that we capture residentially-grown food during Canada’s local growing season, too?" In this blog post, we look at our seasonal produce-sharing program through a framework that defines food security using 5 key principles.

I recently had the pleasure of participating in a panel discussion with the Rhode Island Food Policy Council on the RI Food System Preparedness & Recovery Plan. This small group discussion spanned multiple sectors throughout Rhode Island and focused on optimizing the food supply, distribution, and communication network during a sustained disruption (as we experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic). Food security is a critical yet often overlooked issue, and many of us take it for granted. Disruptions to our communication networks could have devastating consequences. In a crisis, how will we ensure reliable information reaches the public, guide farmers' production decisions, coordinate efficient distribution, and manage public demand at distribution centers? These interconnected elements and the essential workers who support them deserve greater attention and preparation. The potential for food insecurity demands serious consideration and proactive solutions. As someone who experienced food insecurity firsthand during the pandemic, I'm grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with a passionate team on this issue. Rhode Island's initiative to address this potential crisis is commendable and necessary. #rhodeislandfoodsystem #rhodeisland #foodsystem #emergencypreparedness #foodsecurity

Water scarcity is one of the foremost development issues of our time. The impact that water scarcity has on Food Security affects all of us. Follow us we commemorate #WorldFoodDay this October and focus on this critical topic that unites us all. #ProMinentMalaysia #WaterIsLife #WaterIsFood 

#Worldfoodday #Conservewater In this world food day, we are focusing on the conservation of water and the ways to enhance the food safety and quality of water. In 3rd world developing countries, we are facing challenges regarding the scarcity of fresh water. The potable water supplies have been snatched and sold out by water tanker mafia. They adulterate the fresh water with sewerage water causing outbreaks. This situation is alarming to the world.

Many food products we eat depend on pollination by the bees. Beekeepers are suffering from adulteration - a real threat to their existence and #food security. Furthermore, consumers are denied the health benefits, which are only given when #honey is pure and is produced completely by the bees. To know more about the importance of protecting the beekeepers and the bees, don't miss the free webinar with Martin Linkogel (Quality Services International GmbH) & Thomas Spengler (Bruker), "Bee or not to be? Is your honey authentic?" on 23 November, at 14:00 CET. Learn more & register: https://lnkd.in/emCMTfEu #Beekeeping #HoneyAnalysis

It is indeed critical that we work to invest in disaster risk reducing activities to protect Africa's food systems and mitigate the impact of climate change accelerated disasters.
