Local Food
The Local Food Project centers around our Local Food Forum that took place March 21st, 2010. This forum was a one day event that brought together farmers, restaurants, tourism operators, NGO's and other interest groups to discuss the local food issue. This Forum had a great turn out, and brought excellent discussion to the table.
The Local Food Forum aimed to educate the attendees on Local Food issues, such as access, education, distribution, food security as well as what initiatives that are taking place in our communities plus what still needs to be done. Another discussion included ideas on what could be done to promote and distribute local food throughout the Fundy Biosphere Reserve. The presenters of the Forum shared knowledge and promising practices regarding activities supporting our local food system, and addressed strategies and opportunities surrounding local food.
