__Meeting Sept 24, 2007__

__**General Brainstorming ideas**__ __**Mission / Scope of the Venture**__

- mission: to create a healthy meal plan for high school students - using, when posssible and feasible, locally-sourced, organic foods - mission: create a healty meal plan that is nutritious and attractive to student - cheap -using, when posssible and feasible, locally-sourced, organic foods - problem/oportunity: high school cafateria food is often unhealthy - All foods should be GM free - raise awareness of the importance of healthy eating (i.e. the "why" for students) - I think we could even have all foods as canadian - and also raise awareness of the importance of supporting local economy - give students a stronger concept of growing seasons and what it means to eat locally - support local producers and reduce imports - there should be an education component as well - and social fairness: socially sustainable, not exploiting peasants etc - use fresh food items - reducing carbon footprint associated with food miles - nutritional facts as well: what kind of food do students need according to their activities... what kind of foods allow you to concentrate better, etc - make curriculum links between healthy eating program, local agriculture, environment - community building through sharing food - maybe part of the social studies curriculum in grade 9 and or 10 could be learning about why the food program is in place - in a future they can also start a project on urban agriculture with 1 and 2 years and share the food with the people in the community that needs it most: homeless - this even has the potential for linkages to schoolyard gardens (there is a Canadian organization called Evergreen that does this, as well as some others in the U.S.)


 * Mission Statement: To provide nutritious school lunches, using locally-sourced, organic food from Canadian suppliers where possible. We aim to raise awareness of healthy eating issues and its relation to sustainable agricultural practices by improving the overall health and life of students.**
