		<description><![CDATA[In 2005, people across the province read a book called the 100 Mile Diet. Then they asked themselves, could I survive on only food that was produced within 100 miles of my home? There was a time when a great deal of the food consumed in this area was produced in this area, but times have changed and we’ve lost most of the food security that a healthy local agricultural industry brings. That loss of food security is something that concerns us all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Macdonald defends farmers' market coupon project. BC Liberals cut funding that provided fresh produce to low-income families. In his response to the budget speech yesterday, Columbia River - Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald spoke out in support of an innovative program that has been slashed by the BC Liberal budget. "The Farmers' Market Coupon project was a great idea that provided fresh fruits and vegetables to food bank users, supporting healthy eating habits as well as local farmers. It was a win-win situation," said Macdonald.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Improving local food systems at the grassroots level. Interior Health. Interior Health has recently invested $75,000 to build community food security in communities throughout the Interior region. The Community Food Action Initiative (CFAI) provides single and multi-year grants to support a variety of projects that will increase a community’s ability to influence and contribute to the positive growth and development of their local food system. A local food system strengthens the health of a community, while a healthy community contributes to improving the health of the individuals living in that community. It’s a win-win for everyone.]]></description>
