award

Recently Vancouver's Food Policy Council received a prestigious award from the RUAF Foundation, the International Network of Resource Centres on Urban Agriculture and Food Security. Councillor Andre Reimer, formerly co-chair of the VFPC, brought home the award after a conference on urban agriculture in Bogota, Columbia.

Vancouver and the city of Bogota, which also received an award at the event, are the first cities to be honoured. In the past the awards have only gone to national governments for food projects.
