As the city filed it

Through their work, the Toronto Black Farmers Collective aims to increase provisions for fresh and healthy locally grown food to communities and families in need and facilitate workshops around healthy eating and sustainability. As the lack of access to healthy food disproportionality affects marginalized communities, the learning kitchen would be an important space for families to have access to nutritious fruits and vegetables and learn more about how to adopt a local eco-friendly diet.
