A Food Charter is a vision of values, principles and priorities that address food security. Community members, food distributors, food producers, institutions and policy-makers can endorse the charter by signing it and voluntarily committing to actions that will uphold the principles that are outlined. Good Food Greater Fredericton has been working  with the help of its many partners and community members throughout the region to create a Greater Fredericton Food Charter. This toolkit is laid out in a way that helps you identify resources that will help you to enact each of the six Food Charter principles, including: Social Justice, Health Promotion, Sustainability, Community Development, Collaboration & Participation and Celebration. Anyone who eats food in the Greater Fredericton region may find this toolkit useful for becoming a more informed and engaged food citizen.
