From seed to seed … From production through to waste, food has an impact on our health, our social fabric, the environment, our climate, and the economy. Learn about the food system, its challenges, and opportunities to make it more resilient and sustainable for people and our planet.
Join the conversation … Food is so much more than fuel for our busy lives. Take a moment to connect with us on Facebook and Twitter, subscribe to our newsletter. Add your voice to a growing movement of food citizens, volunteer in one of our community gardens, learn about sustainable food systems through our educational garden programs.
Take action … You can help to transform the world one bite at a time.

Sign up to our newsletter to receive monthly news from Halton Food, gardening tips, food waste strategies, climate change initiatives, and much more.
Halton Food educates residents in Halton about sustainable food production and promotes access to local, healthy, culturally-relevant food through sustainable community gardening, urban farming and school gardens.
We envision a Halton where all residents have access to safe, nutritious and culturally acceptable food that they can afford without compromise.
We are committed to a fair and sustainable food system where local foods are available and promoted, local agricultural lands and farmers are protected and supported, urban agriculture is encouraged, and food has been produced and distributed in an environmentally acceptable way.
We support a food system that upholds people's right to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through sustainable methods. To us, that means that people have the right to define and control their own food and agriculture systems.
We see residents engaged in their community garden. We believe that community gardens play a vital role in building a sustainable food system that promotes food security, food sovereignty and food literacy.
We envision a Halton where all people have the knowledge and skills to cultivate and cook their own safe, nutritious and culturally acceptable food.
