Sustainable food systems in Haliburton County

Abstract

Bioregionalism examines our connection with local ecosystems and our relationships with each other. Agriculture is an essential part of this association, as the sale and consumption of locally grown food represent one of the many ways in which communities are directly connected to the land.

This paper recognizes the need for additional sustainable food systems in Haliburton County. There is a need for further research into a farmer's market as well as Sustainable Ecological Alternatives for Living (SEAL). Work with SEAL could also lead into the documentation of the accomplishments of Haliburton County's many home gardeners.
