Our mission: To ensure that Ottawa is Food Secure.
Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs, as well as to culturally acceptable food preferences for an active and healthy life. As well, foods are produced as locally as possible, and their production and distribution are environmentally, socially and economically just.

Food security in our community cannot be achieved by one sector alone. We need to work together!
