BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

In April, 2024, FARMED hosted a Design Thinking Workshop to address the question of "The Food Puzzle" with the goal to "Support a Local and Resilient Food Supply by establishing a system / platform for locally grown food to get to the plates of those who need it". The workshop was facilitated by Pam Nelson with the outcome a Workshop Summary that resulted in the following 2 user group questions:
i) How might we increase knowledge of the local food producers regulations [sic] (regulatory environment)?
ii) How might we increase knowledge of local food availability and access [sic] (where to source) for Users?

The Food Puzzle Project is supported by a Northern Health 'Imagine Grant'.
