In August, 2025, Feed BC released a new guide supporting the Feed BC into Feeding Futures goal that all B.C. school districts are encouraged to work towards a goal of 30% of total school food program purchases being spent on B.C. food. Tracking B.C. Food Purchases helps to measure and recognize progress towards this goal.
In this Getting Started Tracking Guide, Feed BC offers 5 key steps to start tracking B.C. foods:
- Identify top school food programs and suppliers.
- Gather food purchase information.
- Identify B.C. foods.
- Calculate the total and B.C. food purchases.
- Use tracking data for reporting and decision making.
This Feed BC resource was developed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food with support from an appreciated network of B.C. public institutions and food system partners.
