Liz’s Comments: FoodShare is an excellent organization with excellent leadership. Here’s more info about them (from their website):

Advocating and developing innovative and just food policies goes hand-in-hand with a community-based approach to food security. FoodShare takes a multifaceted, innovative and long-term approach to hunger and food issues that weighs issues of poverty, health and environment together in visioning an equitable food system.

Over the past several years FoodShare has been involved in an exciting consultative process and grassroots organizing that has resulted in a range of responses and discussion about what it would take for everyone to have access to affordable, healthy food in Toronto, and across Ontario and Canada.
