Le projet vise à accroître la capacité des organismes communautaires du Canada atlantique à produire, transformer, entreposer et distribuer des denrées alimentaires destinées aux programmes d’alimentation scolaires, et contribue à garantir que les enfants reçoivent les repas nutritifs dont ils ont besoin pour apprendre, grandir et atteindre leur plein potentiel.
Expected Results
Atlantic Canada has led the way in developing comprehensive school food programs that exemplify the vision of the National School Food Policy, and that groundswell is accelerating thanks to new investments. To best support Atlantic communities at this pivotal time, a coalition of food systems organizations is partnering to leverage their substantial collective experience, networks, and capacity to catalyze non-profit school food infrastructure solutions uniquely tailored to Atlantic Canada.
