- 7. Food Environment Mapping Better understanding of spatial relationships among income, food access, etc Changing the discussion on “food deserts”
- 8. Few Healthy Affordable Food Sources Lack of Green Spaces Few Amenities in Walking Distance Inadequate access to public transit Low Household Income
- 10. Health Inequalities & Inner Suburbs
- 11. Using TPH Inspector Data to Create Maps
- 13. = Low Income & no supermarket within 1km walking/driving distance
- 14. Mapping a Food Environment Index 1km radius street network
- 19. BEWARE THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF PRETTY MAPS
- 20. GIS Mapping: Questions to Ask What’s the quality of the data used to create the map? What was the methodology? Is it telling the right story or sending us down the wrong path? Maps (like all research) tell us about the next set of questions to ask, rather than telling us THE ANSWERS
- 21. MRFEI Scores for Toronto
- 22. MRFEI Scores for Toronto
- 23. MRFEI Scores & Low Income
- 24. Kipling & Finch Don Mills Sheppard Markham & Ellesmere Morningside & Ellesmere Lotherton Pathway Flemingdon Park East Scarb Storefront Kingston Galloway Warden Woods Teesdale
- 25. Lotherton Pathway, Toronto – Closest discount grocery 2.5km
- 26. Findings So Far Problem in Toronto is NOT quantity of food stores but quality of retail in many areas Less healthy food retail envir’t common across Toronto Many lower income areas have low MRFEI but income does not predict food envir’t score Schools more likely to have fast food within 500m/1km vs surrounding areas
- 27. Findings So Far Findings So Far… NOT true that big food retailers are ignoring prime locations in lowest income communities Need to look beyond supermarkets at full food retail environment Need to look at dynamic food sourcing (e.g. environments near homes AND schools, workplaces, transit, etc.) Photo source: ERA Architects (2012). Healthy Apartment Neighbourhoods By Design: Barriers and Solutions.
- 28. Explanations? Density in problem areas doesn’t fit with traditional big food retail models (but they’re trying to adapt) “Progressive” regulatory legacies can impede alternate food distribution models today Little support for small food enterprises
- 29. Mobile Good Food Market
- 31. Healthier Corner Stores Working with Existing Small Food Retailers
- 32. Approx 8 convenience stores in Toronto for every supermarket
- 34. Food Retail Assessment in Scarborough
- 36. Insights from Research So Far Wide variation in small food store models Many practical barriers for owners to integrating healthier foods Residents value customer service highly
- 37. Insights from Research So Far Very little institutional support exists for small-scale food retail Many store owners keen to serve community, provide healthier foods Most successful examples we saw prioritized positive relationships with customers
- 39. What Are We Doing with the Research? Informing implementation of new Residential Apartment Commercial zone TPH Healthy TPH Healthy Public Policy Public Policy

- Building food connections broadly, with community but also with TPH and other city Divisions Food Strategy is not a report – ongoing process to identify, leverage and strengthen the conectinos between food and many other issues Making food visible (food traditionally not what Cities do, but we are trying to align City of Toronto policies, by-laws etc with goals of a health focused food system. Helping everyone be intentional about food – to see food as part of City mandate Admin – Board of Health Approved in 2008, Cultivating Food Connections in 2010
- “Food Connections” presents a vision of a health-focused food system, in which health becomes the overarching and driving principle. Our food problems show that the current system does not have health as its goal. A health-focused food system means much more than making safe and nutritious food more available. It would support the social determinants of health. In other words, such a food system would promote social justice, protect the environment, creates local, diverse & green economic development, builds strong communities, foster food-friendly neighbourhoods, empower people with food skills & info, and much more.

- And in big cities with all our wealth and food availability, we still have many low-income neighbourhoods with little access to healthy, affordable food or a high density of unhealthy food options. This is Lotherton Pathway in west Toronto, a lower income area cut off from food stores, where residents take extreme measures to reduce the 2.5km walk to the nearest discount grocery store.
- When we talk about food system – we talk in linear way a ”grow it to throw it” but others talk about it in a circular system of activities from production through to waste. We like to think about as a interconnected system – with not only activities but with people and organizations all interacting and interdependent. Essence of a food strategy – help reorient these connections in favour of a healthier and more sustainable food system. Food system - Production, processing, distribution, retail, marketing, purchasing, preparation, consumption and disposal. In other words, everything from “grow it to throw it”. Food system is big and important – Toronto residents and government spends $7 billion annually on food – 1 in 8 jobs directly related to food, Toronto is 2nd largest food distribution hub in North America
