The Concordia Food Coalition is pleased to announce the launch of our latest food community resource – Equity at the Table: Building Inclusive Food Communities.

This guide provides practical strategies and insights for creating food communities that are inclusive, equitable, and responsive to the needs of underrepresented people.

Equity at the Table highlights the importance of representation, cultural inclusion, and fair access within food systems while offering actionable steps for community members, organizations, and institutions to build more just and supportive food environments.

The guide is designed to foster understanding, inspire action, and support the development of food communities where everyone has a seat at the table.
