Nick Saul

Nick Saul, co-founder and CEO of Right to Food, has spent three decades working at the intersection of food security, community organizing, and public policy. Over the years, Nick has met thousands of people experiencing food insecurity: a single parent stretching every dollar, a refugee rebuilding their life, and a couple working minimum-wage jobs while struggling to afford groceries. These experiences have shaped his belief that hunger is rarely about food itself. Instead, it is deeply connected to poverty, inequality, and the systems that shape people's daily lives. In this Q&A, Nick reflects on the deeper forces driving food insecurity in Canada and why dignity, community, and public policy all have a role to play in creating lasting change.
