Objective:
- Promoting the emergence of promising projects for the sustainability of the North Shore food system through knowledge acquisition and mobilization of key stakeholders.
The impact of food systems on the sustainability of communities and on the health and quality of life of individuals is well established. On the North Shore, there are specific challenges for establishing or improving a sustainable food system. Through knowledge acquisition and mobilization of key stakeholders, MU Conseils has supported the Table Santé-Qualité de la Côte-Nord (now known as the Collectif de développement social de la Côte-Nord) in a process that will ultimately promote access to healthy, local food.
Here is an overview of the achievements:
- Comprehensive overview of each component of the region’s food system, from the field and sea to consumers’ plates, including waste recovery.
- Promotion of local initiatives that promote food system sustainability.
- Strategy for disseminating and adopting the overview.
- Mobilization of stakeholders in each territory to identify priority issues and solutions tailored to their reality.
- Emergence of several territorial projects promoting access to healthy and local food.
- Representation to strategic regional and provincial partners.
