Food insecurity is on the rise : nearly one in five households (19%) in Quebec experienced food insecurity, compared to 14% in 2018¹.
These findings underscore the importance of structural measures to increase income in order to combat food insecurity,such as food voucher programs. The Collectif Vital and its partners have developed a policy brief to ensure the sustainability and expansion of food voucher initiatives.
The Collectif Vital and its partners recommend that the Quebec government establish a fund dedicated to food voucher initiatives—financed, for example, through a tax on sugary drinks—to help combat food insecurity.
Ce Fonds permettrait de soutenir de manière stable et prévisible les initiatives de coupons nourriciers. Pour maximiser les retombées positives sur la collectivité, les programmes de coupons nourriciers doivent répondre à quatre conditions essentielles.
