What is Local Food Plus?

Local Food Plus. LFP was incorporated as a non-profit in October 2005. In September 2006, they launched their program in partnership with the University of Toronto, the largest university in Canada. With this partnership, the U of T became the first university on the continent to formally commit to purchasing local sustainable food for cafeterias and residences across the St. George campus. In August 2007, Local Food Plus changed their name from Local Flavour Plus to Local Food Plus.

At LFP, they recognize the need for a community economic development and job creation strategy, the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and the benefits of a food system that supports positive change for all stakeholders.

That’s why they have developed a certification system that puts these economic, environmental and social issues at the forefront, where they belong. The LFP system addresses production, labour, native habitat preservation, animal welfare, and on-farm energy use, and leverages these standards to open new higher-value markets for Canadian farmers.
