Bring Home the World campaign
The Bring Home the World campaign was launched June 5 at a consultation with stakeholders in Toronto. The campaign will engage Ontarians to identify ways to make locally-grown and processed world foods available in Ontario and to help create opportunities to increase the diversity of local food across the province. Everyone is welcome to participate and share their input by: Completing a world foods survey at Ontario.ca/worldfoods, reading the Bring Home the World discussion paper and submitting comments through email. A video about world foods is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XWMiOT8nvY&feature=youtu.be
