Dear All
Some of you may have seen information on this Urban Food Policy pact that both Toronto and Vancouver have signed onto. Apologies for cross-posting. This could be a good tool to support our food work. 
The Mayors’ commitment in making urban food systems fair and sustainable includes: “develop sustainable dietary guidelines”, “encourage and support social and solidarity economy activities”, “help provide services to food producers in and around cities”, “support short food chains” and “raise awareness of food loss and waste”. Best regards,

Dear All,    If you are interested in the movement of Cities developing their own food policies, take a look at the newUrban Food Policy Pact signed by 100 cities from around the world in Milan on October 15 and presented to the UN on October 16, World Food Day at Expo in Milan. (I was there; it was very moving, actually!)    You can read the Pact itself (all 6 pages) with the commitments the Mayors have made, and the list of 100 Cities from every continent here:http://www.foodpolicymilano.org/en/the-milan-food-policy-pact-is-ready/     Bw
