Good Food Purchasing Australia Community of Practice #2

How do we get leaders across the ecosystem on board with public food procurement? It's the question that came up the most in GFPA's first Community of Practice and continues to emerge in our coaching sessions or meetings with many of you. So we are thrilled to hear from Nourish Canada for our second Community of Practice, to answer this very question. Nourish Canada has been operating for over 10 years, impacting over 20 million meals across health and care settings across the country. This philanthropically funded organisation have an impressive track record of practical action, building skills and meaningfully transforming food in institutions. They will share case studies of leaders across the system driving real change in healthcare food, and how that work shaped their national policy framework. Then we'll dig into practical ways to engage leaders in your own setting. Speakers Hayley Lapalme, Co-Executive Director, Nourish.
