Good Food Box: Generative Relationships and Scenario Planning in Public Health

2018

This case study evaluates a scenario in which a nutrition and food security project loses its funding; if alternative funding is not acquired, hundreds of low-income individuals and families will have reduced access to fresh and nutritious food. A community health promoter working closely with this initiative analyzes how to engage stakeholders to determine the next steps for food security programming in the region, navigate relevant policy considerations and implications, all while complying with the Ontario Public Health Standards (OPHS). This case is most suitable for classroom discussions about food accessibility, generative relationships, scenario planning, and district public health standards.

The case includes guidance for instructors, including learning objectives and discussion questions. This case study is the first in a 17-case collection written by students in the MPH class of the Schulich Interfaculty Program in Public Health at Western University, Canada. The cases may be freely copied and used for educational purposes by an accredited educational institution.
