Local Food Plus

{{More footnotes|date=May 2010}}

Local Food Plus (LFP) was a Toronto-based non-profit organization that brought farmers and consumers together to build regional food economies. It created "LFP certified"{{clarify|date=August 2011}} farmers and processors in Ontario, Atlantic Canada, British Columbia and the Canadian Prairies who used sustainable practices, and helped connect farmers and buyers, in part through a "Buy to Vote" campaign, based on the notion of voting with one's money.

This certification is not as fully considered as, for example, organic certification, 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.{{cite web |last=Choose Your Food |url=http://chooseyourfood.ca/food-certifications/ |title=Food Certifications Overview |accessdate=July 1, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903044355/http://chooseyourfood.ca/food-certifications/ |archive-date=September 3, 2014 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}

The organization was founded in 2005 by Lori Stahlbrand and Mike Schreiner, and was run by the Land Food People Foundation from 2008. Local Food Plus ceased operation in 2014.{{cite journal |url=http://www.betterfarming.com/online-news/local-food-plus-wraps-its-operations-56236 |title=Local Food Plus wraps up its operations |journal=Better Farming |date=17 May 2014 |last=Mann |first=Susan |accessdate=28 October 2017}}
