This report, a first for food security in Canada, scans policies, programs, and government reports from provincial and territorial governments across the country.  While achieving food security requires diverse partnerships across and between multiple levels of government, individuals, farmers, fishers, traditional harvesters, service providers, the corporate sector, non-profit community organizations etc, this paper is focused exclusively on provincial level programs.  By compiling examples of programs and policies from across Canada, this report offers a unique perspective on governmental food security work.  While some programs have undoubtedly been omitted, as is to be expected in a project of this scope and scale, this report highlights innovative examples of policy development across the country as well as general trends in food security policy development. This report is a valuable guide for anyone interested in comparing provincial food policies across the country, developing policy with an interest in precedent from other jurisdictions, or promoting policy change.
