Regional food networks are emerging to address challenges within the dominant food system and develop viable, localized responses. Researchers from the University of Toronto and the BC Food Systems Network are hoping to learn more about how regional food networks work through this survey. In addition, a few organizations that participate in the survey will be asked to join an in-depth study of the network.
All organizations and groups in British Columbia working on food related issues are welcome to participate - please have one representative from your organization or group fill it out.
Responses to this survey are confidential. The name of your organization WILL be made public in the study, but specific comments will not be connected to organizations once the data is summarized. Contact information (including names) will only be used to invite specific organizations to participate in the interview stage of the research and will be stored separately from your answers – once participants for the interviews have been selected, this information will be destroyed. As you fill out this survey, keep in mind that you do not have to answer any question you don’t want to and you are free to withdraw from the survey at any time.
