12:00 to 13:00 EST
Join us in this FSN Teleconference to learn about a recent survey of institutions about local food across Canada.
In 2012 Farm to Cafeteria Canada conducted the first nationwide survey of activities taken by Canadian schools, universities and colleges, and healthcare facilities to provide local food. The purpose was to better understand the activities underway within these settings, the barriers to and impact of such activities, and the types of assistance needed to propel activities forward. The results were released in the October 2013 report Local Foods: Canadian schools, campuses, and health care facilities speak up. Mary McKenna will present the results of the report, highlighting the activities in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Presenter: Mary McKenna, PhD, RD, is a Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in Fredericton and a Registered Dietitian. She is one of the authors of the Farm to Cafeteria Canada report.
