Informed by my time working for the Ontario Student Nutrition Program, my research examines school-based food and local food ‘farm-to-school’ programs. Specifically, my work explores the possibility of these programs to expand the scope and sustainability of local/regional food production.
Nationally, as a community-engaged researcher, I examine school food models across Canada.
In 2019, I was honoured to participate in the Government of Canada’s first roundtable on developing a National School Food Program.
