Having nutritious food is fundamental to the well-being of young people — but nearly one-third of Nova Scotia children live in food-insecure households.

And despite the power of food in supporting wellbeing, many young people do not have opportunities to learn important food knowledge and skills that are essential for developing healthy habits and having positive experiences with food.

That’s why Nourish Nova Scotia helps young people learn about food and transform the food systems around them. We do this through food literacy programs, capacity building, and advocacy.

When young people have opportunities to shape the food system around them, they become leaders and inspire meaningful change.
