This certificate explores the practices, principles and philosophies involved in local food system development. The focus is on increasing both academic and hands-on knowledge of regional food initiatives across Canada, alongside international best practices. There is a specific concentration on applied learning, online networking, and community research. This certificate is the first of its kind in Canada, providing a cutting edge advantage when competing for work in the sustainable local food sector.

Those who take this program will be participating in the first of its kind in Canada, and will thus have access to hitherto ungathered information and models. This will provide a cutting edge advantage when for competing for the dozens of local food jobs emerging each month in communities from coast to coast.
