Since 2015, the Good Food Network has been working to transform our regional food system. Through advancing Food Access, the Local Food Economy, and Food Literacy across the region, the Network has worked to nurture a healthier and more sustainable food system, providing good food for all.
In 2018, we created a comprehensive outcomes map that identified our key indicators and goals for the Good Food 2025 initiative. With 2025 marking the beginning of our evolution process, we’re taking this opportunity to evaluate our progress on these key indicators.
Since then, emergent indicators have prompted initiatives such as Equity First. This, and other efforts, are helping us centre the advancement of Equity and Justice within the Network.
This “Good Food 2025 Evolution” will also enable the Good Food Network to diversify our leadership structure and centre the voices Indigenous, Black, Immigrant, and other Equity-Denied communities who have been historically ostracized or harmed by our food system.
