Équiterre and Aliments du Québec, with the support of The Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ), launch the “Aliments du Québec au menu” program which encourages and recognizes the efforts of Quebec institutions to purchase local food. All schools that received the Farm to School Canada grant in Quebec have benefited from this recognition.
