Welcome to our website of research on BC's local food systems.
The 'Good Food' Value Chain
Building Capacity of Local Food Systems
in British Columbia
 The ‘Good Food' Value
Chain research program involves communities in British Columbia in order to build capacity of their local food
systems. A local food system refers to the entire food value chain from the
farmer’s field to the dinner plate.
This includes producers, marketing agencies, input industries,
processors, retailers, farmers markets, and consumers.
To build the capacity of a local food
system means improving markets for local foods, increasing awareness of local
food issues, and ensuring equitable access to ‘good food’ for all
residents.
Research methods emphasise
local participation, local responsibility, and local benefits.
