MiFOOD Project Workshop: Migrant Food Security and Livelihood Resilience amid Global Disruptions

July 31 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

The workshop presents key findings from the MiFOOD project, which investigates how international and internal migrants navigate food insecurity and build resilience in the context of global disruptions. Drawing from case studies in Canada, South Africa, and China, this session explores the intersection of migration, livelihood strategies, and access to food during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The presentations offer grounded insights into migrants’ adaptive responses and the structural barriers they encounter in diverse urban and rural contexts. The workshop aims to facilitate knowledge exchange among researchers working across geographic and disciplinary boundaries. It provides a platform to reflect on shared themes and divergent contexts, explore methodological insights, and discuss future directions for collaborative research within the MiFOOD network and beyond.

The workshop is cohosted by the MiFOOD network, the Hungry Cities Partnership (HCP), the International Migration Research Centre (IMRC) and the Balsillie School of International Affairs (BSIA).
