We need to recognize the inextricably linked nature of food systems and adopt a ‘food systems lens’ in all our planning activities,” says Dr. Kent Mullinix, director of the Institute for Sustainable Food Systems (ISFS). The ISFS has concluded the three-year Okanagan Bioregion Food System Project . The study focused on farming and food systems in the Okanagan region of British Columbia.
