Evidence Review: Governance Structures that Support Local Food Systems

This rapid review was produced to inform how registered dietitians working in local public health agencies in Ontario can support the development and enhancement of local sustainable food systems. We sought to learn more about the governance structures that currently support local food system transformation; identify who has voice, agency, or power within local food system governance; how the change process is supported; and determine how the effectiveness of these governance structures and processes are measured.
