Land to Table Network Society (L2T) is a network of individuals and organizations from various sectors of the North Okanagan and Columbia Shuswap food system who support the L2T vision. Together we aim to build a thriving, healthy, just, and resilient regional food system that nourishes and connects people, sustains livelihoods, regenerates the environment, and builds community.
As a regional food system network, our work focuses on identifying local priorities and collaboration opportunities, to undertake projects that aim to grow our local food economy, increase access to local, nutritious food, and build greater food system resilience and justice, including action toward reconciliation. We prioritize two clear project paths: Local Food Procurement through Value Chain Development and Community Food Security. Click below to learn more.
We believe networks to be an inspiring model for catalyzing change in response to complex social problems. As a network we co-create local solutions based on community strengths, capabilities, and assets, and foster strong connections and relationships as the core of a resilient local food system.
Our L2T network includes key food systems partners such as farmers, food processors, distributors, retailers, chefs, and consumers, in addition to related groups like businesses, government entities, non-profits, academic institutions, and Indigenous communities.
Land to Table is pleased to announce The Food Shed, a centralized food distribution program that will expand the capacity of local food producers while ensuring non-profits, schools, and other community organizations have access to affordable, nutritious food.
Thanks to the provincially funded United Way BC Large Food Infrastructure Grant, more people in the North Okanagan and neighboring regions will soon have better access to healthy, fresh food. This investment bolsters critical food infrastructure that our community has long called for.
Each month we will share L2T network specific updates plus the latest news, events and jobs from all across the North Okanagan food system so you can stay in the know.
