The entire SHIFT enterprise then becomes a place for agriculture, aquaculture, and commercial cooking, learning and training. This will bring enormous economic and social benefits to communities searching for bold interventions that impact their very fabric and quality of life.
Farmers will receive fair prices for their produce and we will open new sales channels for them that are local and sustainable. Fresh and affordable produce boxes will be developed for families.
SHIFT will create new jobs, reduce waste and food miles, establish new learning pathways and job opportunities for youth, and educate about healthier food choices and accessibility, all while ensuring that every school student has access to a healthy, nutritious lunch during the school day.
