Good Food Solutions for BC is a three year project of the Network that seeks to increase the impact of our collective efforts to create healthier, just and sustainable food systems.

Through the Good Food Solutions for BC project the BCFSN is building more knowledge of and support for sustainable food systems across the province.  To accomplish this we are aggregating information from community-based programs, projects and research into a province-wide policy issues overview in order to develop solutions-oriented policy proposals and public education materials.

Across priority areas we are leveraging our network of relationships and our role as an independent multi-stakeholder organization. We are bringing together communities, leaders and experts from across sectors and geographies to facilitate and strengthen collaborations in support of innovative food policies, programs and practices.

Through Good Food Solutions for BC the BCFSN will aggregate information from community-based programs, projects and research into a province-wide policy issues overview. From there we are developing policy reform proposals to advance viable and sustainable local food systems.
