Aug. 12 – Consultant Opportunity with Dietitians of Canada re: Household Food InsecurityDietitians off Canada (DC) is committed to supporting dietitians in their advocacy efforts. Members have identified the need to gain access to updated information about how they can advocate for all Canadians to live in food secure households. A draft position paper has been developed and reviewed by an extensive Advisory Team and in consultation with the DC Household Food Insecurity (HFI) Network. Feedback from the Advisory Team review of the first draft, along with newly emerging research, highlight the need to amplify the role of historically under-explored systemic barriers to HFI, including racism and settler colonialism. DC is now seeking to hire a consultant to finalize the paper, titled “Addressing Household Food Insecurity in Canada: Position Statement, Key Messages, and Recommendations”. As dietitians play an integral role in supporting Canadians to eat well, there are opportunities to support systems change and mitigate harm by reflecting on research and elevating the voices of those with lived experience most affected by HFI. Application deadline: August 12, 2022 Find out more about the project and how to apply here: https://bit.ly/3uLg6ma La version français ici: https://bit.ly/3P4VddP |
