Only eating food from within a 100 mile radius of your home or trying to avoid eating food which has to be shipped from the other side of the globe has become popular with many individuals over the past decade. But in a cold country such as Canada how realistic is the \u201c100 mile diet\u201d and counting \u201cfood miles\u201d? What role could public policy play in promoting local food systems? Join the debate with academics, civil society actors, industry representatives and civil servants. The event discussed the latest policy-relevant research from the EU and Canada.<\/p>\n

Sustainable local food systems have the potential to shore up communities as they tackle environmental challenges and deal with limited resources. The development of local food systems can promote economic development and diversification as well as be tied to a variety of public health goals. The workshop discussed the way in which goods are currently traded and asked whether there is a bias towards export and away from local consumption. Governments in Canada at the federal, provincial and municipal levels are engaging in the issues around local food systems in areas as diverse as agriculture, public health, environment, northern affairs, and regional development. The workshop debated a variety of civil society initiatives designed to engage citizens in the reconstruction of local food systems.<\/p>\n
