Welcome to Food Connections!

This site is your connection to the Toronto Food Strategy project - a bold initiative to show how cities can help build a healthy and sustainable food system for the 21st century.


The newest Toronto Food Strategy report - Cultivating Food Connections: Toward a Healthy and Sustainable Food System for Toronto - was submitted to the Toronto Board of Health on June 1, 2010.

It reveals how urban leadership on food can help Toronto achieve its environmental, economic, social and community priorities, while improving health. The report highlights numerous positive changes that are already underway and proposes several next steps for City leadership.

This website is your gateway to learning about food system issues and discussing ways that the City of Toronto can champion and healthy and sustainable food system for all.
