MLFPC in the Community

Ivey Students Collaborate with MLFPC at Growing Chefs!

On September 27, 2024, we had the pleasure of working with Ivey HBA students during an exciting event hosted by Growing Chefs! Students participated in hands-on cooking and gardening activities, followed by a collaborative workshop with the Middlesex London Food Policy Council. Together, we brainstormed ways to action the recommendations from our 2022 Multiphase Assessment.

We were inspired by the students’ creativity, passion, and fresh ideas. Our next step is to gather their input from the brainstorming sessions to help guide the future of MLFPC’s work. Stay tuned for more updates!

Participants at a workshop engage in activities, group discussions, and presentations. Logos for Ivey, MLFPC, and Growing Chefs! are featured.
Collaborating for a better future! Ivey Business students joined forces with Growing Chefs and the Middlesex London Food Policy Council to explore innovative solutions in food systems. Together, we’re growing ideas and cultivating change!"
