From the Toronto Star,

The University of Toronto is breaking fresh ground, becoming the first in Canada to commit to serving locally produced, environmentally and socially responsible fare in its cafeterias and dining halls. Under a partnership with Local Flavour Plus (LFP)…the university will buy some of its milk, fruit, vegetables and other products from those who do such things as use minimal or no pesticides and antibiotics, treat livestock and workers well, cut energy consumption and greenhouse gases and enhance wildlife habitat.

Very exciting stuff.

Local Flavour Plus (LFP) is a non-profit organization that brings farmers and consumers to the table to share in the benefits of environmentally and socially responsible food production. They are committed to building and fostering local sustainable food systems by certifying farmers and processors and linking them with local purchasers
