Food is at the heart of international development. Food is interconnected with almost all aspects of society, including public health, the environment, the economy, and gender equality. In the spirit of International Development Week and this year’s theme, #GoForTheGoals, we asked individuals across Canada how food connects them to global development and the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and their visions of a better world.
Semaine du développement international (SDI) est une initiative annuelle qui se déroule pendant la première semaine complète de février. Depuis 1991, la SDI rassemble des organisations de la société civile, des écoles, des entreprises, des organismes gouvernementaux et le grand public afin de mettre en lumière les contributions canadiennes aux initiatives de développement international, d’un océan à l’autre et à l’étranger.
This year’s International Development Week (#IDW2024) will take place from February 4 to 10 and will be celebrated by the Inter-Council Network, Global Affairs Canada, Canadian development organizations and Canadians with events and activities across the country.
