Lessons Learned So Far
Build partnerships focused on action, even small projects that allow City staff & NGO partners to see food connections can create many benefits
Be opportunistic, find where momentum is
Learning to communicate our message effectively to diverse audiences is critical
![Page 31: Barbara Emanuel, Manager Toronto Food Strategy Toronto Public Health April 17, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568158bd550346895dc605d6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Lessons Learned So Far
Local gov’ts can play strong role in food system renewal, but need to embrace both top-down & bottom-up approaches
Working w community, local gov’t can often pilot innovative food solutions “on the cheap” by leveraging diverse resources
