A new report recommendations a need for great regional partnerships in northern Ontario's agri-food sector.The report by two Lakehead University researchers was done as part of a much larger review of farmers’ markets, co-ops and other sustainable food programs province wide.
Co-author of the northern Ontario report Mirella Stroink says greater collaboration would strengthen those groups who now struggle with issues around funding, marketing and administrative support.
The researchers also see a need for some policies that help improve access and marketing of foods found in the forest such blueberries and maple syrup.
