Editor's Notes
- #3 At the same time as so much food instability there is also great things happening You heard about local food – we want to create ultra local food – food grown, distribute, learned about, composted, sold and earned from…right here in the city.
- #7 We want to aim for community-based food security – on an ultra local level – embraces household security – we are not only taking about local community, this is global, country, city, neighbourhood - Barbara statement here that she will cut and paste
- #11 Mobile Vending – a pilot market on wheels – this truck stops in six different places around Toronto and is a partnerhsip between FoodShare and Toronto Public Health – can you imagine a truck where you are?
