The Transformative Food Politics and Regional Networks research project explores the structure and constitution of networks of food initiatives in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia, working in partnership with four provincial network organizations. The main purpose of this study has been to enhance our understanding of how organizations in Canada are mobilizing around food-related issues. In particular, the research explores the role that food networks, rather than individual initiatives, play in developing resistance to the corporate led industrial food system. This research also seeks to support and strengthen the activities of each provincial network by providing useful information about how they work.
