Our latest Local Food Champion is Mark Kenny of the University of Guelph, a passionate advocate for Ontario food whose work demonstrates how institutional purchasing can strengthen the local food system. . His commitment goes beyond procurement—he believes in cultivating relationships, opening doors for local food companies, and telling the stories behind the food so that students, consumers and communities better understand where their food comes from. Through leadership, collaboration and a passion for local food, Mark is showing how procurement can be a powerful catalyst for Ontario agriculture and a stronger, more resilient food system.
