On your mark, get ready, buy local. The 2014 Local Food Challenge is on!

The Local Food Challenge, led by the Greenbelt Fund, with support from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, is helping public institutions such as hospitals, schools, and childcare centres, incorporate more Ontario food into their menus.

With the 2014 Challenge now underway, it’s clear that this year’s Challengers have some exciting projects on the table. Challenge participants are located across Ontario, and represent schools, universities, hospitals, and daycares. We cannot wait to see their projects come to life.
