“…However, our study had several limitations: a limited breadth of policy-makers (primarily municipal staff), no politicians, and only a few civil society organizations, such that not all stakeholders relevant to urban food system change through a more fulsome concept of governance were represented (Gore, 2008;Clark et al, 2017). Nevertheless, its scope was appropriate for staff working on policy in a public health department to better understand the context and policy and information priorities of their municipal colleagues.…”

“…In particular, to what extent do staff and policy-makers see historical equity concerns as central? (Clark, Freedgood, Irish, Hodgson, & Raja, 2017). Do they think that UA promotion should involve targeted programs primarily for the vulnerable (e.g., subsidized food production by those with mental health conditions); universal approaches (e.g., zoning bylaw changes for a greener city); or proportionate universalist approaches (e.g., expansion of available community gardening plots to be able to respond to all those with household food security challenges) (NCCDH 2013)?…”

“…While it is recognized that strengthening Indigenous foodways is inextricably linked to larger shifts in federal and provincial policy related to Indigenous rights and reconciliation efforts (Coté, 2010;Manuel & Derrickson, 2015), local governments can and should assume an active role. In their local government capacitybuilding work, Clark et al (2017) reflect on how the active engagement of those affected by food system inequalities is critical to the development of policies that support equitable food systems. Prioritizing biodiversity conservation in land use planning, incorporating Indigenous food sovereignty into community planning, and increasing institutional support for Indigenous food programs have been identified as avenues for local governments to strengthen Indigenous food systems (Morrison, 2008).…”

“…However, many of the impacts of poor or absent food system planning-inadequate access to food for residents, local pollution, waste management, loss of agricultural land and rural livelihoods--are most acutely felt at the local government level (MacRae & Donahue, 2013). As such, including food systems as a fundamental component of community and regional planning presents a substantial opportunity to improve public health as well as the ecological and economic wellbeing of communities (American Planning Association [APA], 2017; Clark, Freedgood, Irish, Hodgson, & Raja, 2017;Morgan, 2009;Youmans, 2014).…”
