From the Greenbelt Fund:
Motivated by the growing demand for locally grown food, public sector institutions have begun making the switch to local food for their clients. However, this transition from non-local food is not without its challenges. The key barriers to getting more Ontario food into our public institutions are related to access, people, policy and product. Overcoming barriers within these four thematic areas can lead to systemic changes across the food value chain, create a level playing field for farmers, and ensure institutions are able to access Ontario product.
