June 7 – 13 is Ontario’s Local Food Week – an opportunity to celebrate, appreciate and support fresh, healthy, home-grown food.
Ontario is home to about 49,600 farms and 4,400 food processing facilities, contributing over $47 billion to the provincial GDP, according to the 2021 Local Food Report.
Out of all the food produced in the province, 60 per cent of it is consumed here too.
A large part of supporting local farms and food businesses is understanding what local foods are available, as well as how and where to obtain them. The Ontario government is aiming to increase involvement in local foods through a variety of initiatives.
