When Canadians think about environmental sustainability, what city comes to mind? London, Ontario…probably not. But it could be. This series looks at London’s environmental and ecological health, and asks just how green and resilient the “Forest City” is. In each episode, host Molly Miksa talks to local experts in a given area, asking a specific question to gauge London’s level of success in its pursuit of resiliency and a green future. A production of the London Environmental Network.

Local Food - Part 1

In this first of two episodes looking at local food, we consider the goal of London becoming food self-sufficient.

Mariam Waliji talks about Urban Roots London (the city’s urban farm), On The Move Organics food box delivery program, and the Root Cellar restaurant, as well as food security and the effects of climate change and the pandemic on local food systems.

Mike Bloxam of the London Food Bank outlines the many food rescue programs and on-site growing projects underway at the London Food Bank, that made it the first food bank in Canada to offer 50% fresh food to clients.
