The Ontario government has announced an investment of up to $100,000 to the Northern Ontario Farm Innovation Alliance (NOFIA) to study, assess and grow the network of agri-food producers, processors, distributors, procurers, and consumers in Northern Ontario.

Through this investment, NOFIA will conduct research and case studies, compile market strategies, host business networking sessions and develop workshops that will result in:

a directory of food producers across the northern region
a best practice guide for local food procurement practices for remote communities
marketing support to increase the consumption and availability of local food in northern and remote communities
resources that support food literacy in Northern Ontario
business-to-business meetings and tours that encourage new market opportunities.
