It's critical to focus on the particular challenges faced by children under 5 and the devastating reality that a quarter of these children are food insecure. The first priority must be to address the key driver of families' poverty (lack of income) through a #CashFirst approach.
Big Issue@BigIssue

The @EduPolicyInst has warned children under five are 25% more likely to experience food poverty than older children and it’s driving obesity and mental health crises. It can also affect education – food poverty is associated with worse cognitive development, maths and vocabulary skills. Find out more. ⬇️ bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

Thanks @uoftmedicine for this feature! Have you heard of the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program? Across Canada, the CPNP provides important perinatal nutrition support to families navigating challenging life circumstances--but funding has *not* increased in over two decades
