“…In general, the literature agrees in defining FI as a situation where the availability of safe and nutritionally, personally and culturally appropriate food, as well as the capacity to procure for oneself the required food which meets one's food preferences in a socially acceptable manner for an active and healthy living, is limited or uncertain (Koç and Welsh, 2001; Campbell et al , 1988; Power, 2005; Tarasuk, 2001b, a; FAO, 1996). In a context where food is abundant, as in Canada in general and Québec in particular, amongst other issues, FI comes back to the issue of access to food.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to measure changes in food habits of first‐generation immigrants in Montreal (Quebec, Canada), as well as their self‐declared state of health and physical activity level. A subset of the sample was found to be in a state of food insecurity (FI).Design/methodology/approachA supervised questionnaire was administered to 506 adult allophone immigrants attending French‐language courses, autumn 2011. A FI indicator was developed and applied to this sample. The authors discuss the concept of FI and issues about measurements of FI.FindingsIn total, 10 per cent of the sample was found to suffer from FI, which has a negative impact on fruit, vegetables, dairy product, fish and red meat consumption, and diet quality in general. FI shows a positive correlation with changes in state of health and lifestyle and the development of chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. Results also show that certain groups are more at risk, that FI prevalence decreases with the years of residence and that FI is a deep source of anxiety.Originality/valueFI should be monitored in a more systematic manner in recent immigrant populations and be specifically addressed in immigrant integration policies. The authors also stress that problems occurring because of FI are rooted in the incapacity and the failure of the social programs to protect very low income families from harmful consequences of poverty.

“…These groups are not exclusive, however, as a well-educated individual or family can also experience food insecurity. It is important to understand that education has little or no effect in cushioning the effects of food insecurity (17). If food is expensive or inaccessible, even a person who has a degree in nutrition and healthy eating would suffer the same condition as people who have no knowledge of the course at all.…”

“…The effects of food insecurity may not be evident in all members of suffering families because often times parents, mothers especially, would do everything possible to ensure that their children are well fed even if it means that they go hungry. Therefore, in order to ascertain if a family is suffering from food insecurity, the quality and quantity of food available to the mother needs to be known (17). Mothers that eat less nutritious food may lead to an impact on breast milk, which ultimately affects an infant's development.…”

This review extensively discusses various socio environmental factors affecting eating behavior of the general public within Canada including the development and implementation of national policies. A framework representing the determinants of healthy eating can be grouped into four categories i.e., the individual determinants, the economic environment, the social environment and the physical environment. This framework allowed for addressing food insecurity and social economic ecosystem of Canadians. Lastly, we investigate the role in which biotechnology plays in improving food security and addresses the significant impact biotechnology has contributed toward on agriculture and the food market. Overall, this review using such sources as Web of Science, Pub Med and Scopus provides significant contribution toward understanding the social economic environment and eating behavior of people living in Canada. In conclusion, this has led to identify a research gap as there is a significant need to address the development and implementation of policies in the food and nutrition environment.

Introduction Nous avons étudié l'accès aux aliments et l'équilibre alimentaire à Saskatoon (Saskatchewan, Canada) en lien avec la défavorisation matérielle et sociale. Méthodologie Nous avons déterminé l'emplacement de tous les grands supermarchés et des restaurants-minute à Saskatoon. L'indice d'accessibilité aux supermarchés et celui de l'équilibre alimentaire ont été comparés aux indices de défavorisation matérielle et sociale afin de déterminer s'il y avait une association importante. Résultats Les endroits où il y a le moins de supermarchés sont les quartiers situés à l'ouest de la rivière Saskatchewan Sud ainsi que la banlieue entourant la ville. Les quartiers de l'ouest de la rivière sont les plus défavorisés de la ville. Le ratio moyen de l'équilibre alimentaire de Saskatoon est de 2,3, ce qui indique une prédominance de l'accès aux restaurants-minute. Cependant, nous n'avons pas trouvé de schéma ou de gradient socioéconomique clairs pour plusieurs des indicateurs. Conclusion L'étude souligne l'importance des études contextuelles sur l'accès aux aliments. L'étude met également en lumière un certain nombre d'autres questions qui devraient être étudiées à Saskatoon, comme les habitudes alimentaires individuelles, la mobilité, l'évolution dans le temps de l'accès aux aliments, l'accès économique ainsi que les interventions susceptibles d'améliorer l'accès aux aliments dans la ville.
