The Sarnia-Lambton Food Coalition supports the development of a sustainable food system that integrates all pieces of the food system to enhance the nutritional, environmental, economic and social health of Sarnia-Lambton.

The "food system" includes all activities and relationships related to every aspect of the food cycle, including growing, harvesting, transporting, processing, distributing, marketing, selling, preparing, consuming and disposing of food.

This report presents a community food system plan with specific actions to guide the creation of a healthy local food system. It was developed through community consultation, which initiated collaboration among many sectors of the food system.
