On Thursday, November 9, Mohawk College, in partnership with the Greenbelt Fund, will be hosting a Research Summit: Increasing Local Food at Ontario Colleges at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto.
The event will present a draft local food procurement framework for Ontario’s 24 colleges, focused on bringing more Ontario-grown food to campuses across the province. The summit will also present the results of five local food pilot projects done at Algonquin, Boreal, Fleming, Humber and Mohawk Colleges.
