Food security means having access to safe, culturally acceptable, and nutritional food. The principles of food security are sustainability, self-reliance and social justice. A sustainable community food system improves the health of the community, environment and individuals over time. Many programs within the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) share these goals and provide leadership for food security. For more information, visit:
