Assembling the Ingredients

Halton Food, a program of Halton Environmental Network, is a volunteer-based non-profit organization representing a broad range of sectors and interests across the food system in Halton Region. Our mission is to promote and support a sustainable local food system and to inspire people into action through urban growing methods.

Halton Food

The Halton Food Council is embarking upon an ambitious journey in which we're hoping you'll take an active part. Beginning in the spring of 2017, we will be convening and helping to lead the development of a Food Strategy in Halton - a process we expect will take 18-24 months to complete.  
 As a first step in this community conversation, the Halton Food Council is hosting a forum, “Assembling the Ingredients”, where we will release our recently completed environmental scan. The scan was undertaken over the last year and provides readers with in-depth insights organized around six steps in the food chain: production, processing, distribution, access and retailing, preparation and consumption, and waste. An exploration of the people, places, and activities at each stage helps to illuminate what influences the food system and draws attention to issues and opportunities. The event will also include a panel discussion on food strategies undertaken by three Canadian urban centers: Edmonton, Hamilton and Toronto. Barbara Emanuel, Manager of the Toronto Food Strategy, Sandy Skrzypczyk, Project Lead of the Hamilton Food Strategy, and Jonathan McNeice, former Lead Advisor to the City of Edmonton’s Food Strategy, will be sharing their insights and experiences on the structure and processes that led to the development of food strategies in these three cities. The event is open to everyone living or working in Halton, who is interested in food related issues in the community.
