Farm to Cafeteria: BC Communities Share Paths to Success

Farm to Cafeteria programs have been the focus of much media attention. The public, practitioners, and policy makers alike are clamouring to hear more. They seek to understand the various program models, how they work, their strengths, their challenges, and their impact. This document has been created in response to this demand. Following a brief overview of Farm to Cafeteria history and concepts, 5 “stories from the field” are shared. These stories are drawn from every corner of British Columbia illuminating the many paths communities have travelled to bring healthy, local, and sustainable foods to students, patients, and staff.  [BC Farm to School and Farm to Cafeteria Canada, 2012]
