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.
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
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?
Through the Good Food Box, Mobile and Good Food Markets, our delivery for fresh vegetables and fruit to 250 Student Nutrition and community programs , 34% sourced from Ontario FoodShare’s non-profit Field to Table Community Hub sold $2,000,000 of fresh produce last year.
Longstanding relationships with Ontario Food Terminal and family farms creates the Field to Table Community Food Hub and sells $2 million of produce annually

In Toronto FoodShare distributes and supports 12markets, partnering with 12 locally-based organizations – these create great public space in areas where there are not a lot of community gathering places and increase access to food where supermarkets are too expensive or few and far between. We now are continuing to experiment with Mobile Vending – a truck that goes around to areas with little food access and stops for an hour to sell produce.
What you are seeing is the front yard of a highschool – a technical highschool where three years ago there was a broad swath of grass that no one did anything with.
