  • Waterloo Food Flow Study
    Region of Waterloo Food Flow Analysis Study November 2005 Milk Prepared for: Region of Waterloo Public Health Prepared by: Executive Summary Background Over the past two years, the Region of Waterloo Public Health has been mapping and investigating aspects of the food system in Waterloo Region with a long term vision of improving food availability and food practices among residents, in order to reduce diet- related disease rates. The Region initiated several studies to gain a better understanding of the local food system which included assessments of the agricultural economy, access to food, rural health, and consumer attitudes in relation to buying locally grown and processed food. With the completion of this foundation research, Public Health initiated the Farms that Sell Locally Viability Plan in the Fall of 2004 to identify supports and barriers for farmers selling food locally (Region of Waterloo) in order to develop a plan for increasing local food production, processing, and consumption. The plan consists of five interrelated studies including: • Food Flow Study • Optimal Nutrition Environment Scenario (ONE) • Food Miles Study • The Marketing of Buy Local! Buy Fresh! • Redundant Trade Study (RT) An advisory committee was formed to provide input into each study’s process, to provide links to specific contacts and sources of information, and to ground the work in the experiences of farmers, processors, and retailers in the local food system. These five studies were reported on together in an abbreviated form in a paper entitled “Toward a Healthy Community Food System for Waterloo Region”. More detailed stand-alone reports, such as this one, were also written for each study.
