The Green Party of Ontario (GPO) is hosting a presentation by Michael Schreiner, GPO Policy Coordinator and Vice-president of Local Food Plus and by Shelly Knox, a local farmer who supplies vegetables to local customers directly.

The presentation will be of interest to both farmers as well as consumers who are concerned about the nutritional value of mass produced foods and how they can improve their diets and help farmers by eating more locally produced produce.
