From Sara Couper at the City of Vancouver:

While food policy is the centrepiece of the video, it tells a broader story of the City of Vancouver’s work towards creating a healthy and engaged city. The purpose of the video is to showcase the outcome of creating spaces where intergenerational and intercultural connections can flourish, and where food plays a major role in creating engaged, healthy, connected, and inclusive cities.

Best quote, especially if you were someone who was a bit cynical about people growing food in the city:

You are not going to be able to look at one block in this city in ten years and not seem some part of the local food economy taking root ….

– Sadhu Johnston, Deputy City Manager
