The Peer Health Education Food Security Cookbook aims to bring awareness to the key issues related to food security in the post-secondary population and provide budget-friendly and thoughtful recipes for students. By the end of this project, a complete cookbook should be published.

Deliverables

The Peer Health Education Food Security Cookbook project tasks include, but are not limited to:

  • research and compile evidence related to food security and insecurity issues in post-secondary populations
  • research and collect evidence related to food and nutrition relevant to post-secondary populations (for example, sustainability, food waste, budgeting, eating well for learning, dispelling myths, etc.)
  • research and create a recipe bank with budget-friendly, food security framed recipes
  • create a "cookbook" framed through a food security lens
  • create a reference list
Mentorship

The student working on this project will be able to meet with the supervision team weekly throughout their project period.

Essential reference materials related to food security and food and nutrition will be provided; however, additional research may be required.

Access to an online platform for creating content will be provided. Please note that the student must have access to their own computer or be willing to attend MacEwan University in-person to use a public access computer.
