This article examines the connections and relationship between food insecurity and identity amongst post-secondary students in the North York Area. Through engagement with participants who are currently enrolled in post-secondary education or participants that contribute towards the production of the post-secondary student experience, I explore how each participant comes to understand and experience the impact of food security or insecurity and its relationship with identity. I use interviews, observation, and personal narratives as my primary methods. This research contributes to a greater understanding of the various consequences and effects that food insecurity may have for post-secondary students, and to further propose practical steps towards improving the rising issue of food insecurity within the North York area
