Recipe For Change - The Toronto Food Event Turning Five This Week
It's far too easy to just live in our own little world where our kids are well fed and so are their friends. They grow up exposed to nutritious, delicious foods and their idea of hunger is feeling a bit peckish when they get home from school. We have the means to drive up north and take our kids berry picking or out to Niagara for farm fresh peaches and buy beautiful local produce at roadside stands. Often, they attend fun summer camps where they learn to bake or cake decorate and many of us have gardens in our yards so that they can go and pick a couple of fresh tomatoes for their salad or know the joy of a freshly pinched leaf of basil.
This, sadly, is not the reality for far too many families. That is where an organization like FoorShare Toronto comes in. They are Canada's largest community food security organization who work with communities with the long term goal of ensuring that everyone has access to sustainable, healthy food. With a variety of programs that focus on the entire process- they refer to is as field to table- they work with individuals, families and communities from the beginning of the process with the growing of food all the way through to the cooking and consumption of healthy, delicious food. Many of their programs have been reproduced across the country, making them true food pioneers who currently feed more than 150,000 people each month in the city of Toronto via programs like Field to Table Schools, Community Kitchens, Power Soups, Community Gardening, Bee Keeping and many more.
