Informed by my time working for the Ontario Student Nutrition Program, my research is examining the rapid expansion of ‘farm-to-school’ programs in Ontario. Specifically, my work explores the possibility of these local food programs to expand the scope and sustainability of local food production and procurement in Ontario and the aggregate impact of these scaled-up programs on the provincial economy. As Canada is one of the only G8 countries without a universal, nationally-funded student nutrition program, it is my hope that showing the economic return on investment of these programs will increase investment in school food programs, helping to move the dial on student well-being in Canada.
