Local Food Plus

Local Food Plus (LFP) is a Canadian non-profit organization that brings farmers and consumers together to build regional food economies. LFP certifies farmers and processors in Ontario, Atlantic Canada, British Columbia and the Canadian Prairies who use sustainable practices, and helps connect farmers and buyers, in part through a "Buy to Vote" campaign, based on the notion of voting with one's money.

This certification which permits a 'best practice' approach, meaning that each of the points that LFP aims to integrate is not as fully considered as say organic certification specifically, but because it considers a wide range of 'ethical' points, the consumer may be able to purchase a well-rounded and 'morally' sound item if it bears the LFP label.[1]
