The fourth round of Farm to School Canada Grants is launched. The funding round receives the highest number of applications to date, representing a 48% increase from the previous cycle.
A new school food map is launched to track school meal programs and food literacy activities across the country. The map includes not just schools, but the farmers, producers and other community partners who make these programs possible.
Farm to School: Canada Digs In! comes to a close. This 5+ year capacity building endeavour was integral to the growth of the farm to school movement in Canada and the growth of F2CC as an organization. Its completion marks a turning point and launch pad for F2CC’s next chapter.
10 years after becoming a network to build capacity and influence policy to bring healthy, local food into public institutions, F2CC becomes a registered Canadian Charity with a revised focus in the school setting vs. all public institutions.
