With support from the Ontario government (through the Ministry of Agriculture and Food), the Greenbelt Fund is calling for new applications to the broader public sector (BPS) grant program to support increased amounts of local food served in hospitals, schools and other broader public sector institutions.
The grant program has supported a $26 million increase in Ontario foods purchased by the BPS. Kathleen Wynne explains that the funding is part of the provincial government’s commitment to support local food.
