The Eco Co-op Project with the help of the local foods market aims to achieve three major objectives. The first of these objectives is to promote and support local food production and purchasing. This follows the current global trend of being self-sufficient first. Additionally, it also helps keep resources (money) within the community. This is going to be achieved by sourcing food for the market from local producers, growing food ourselves in the greenhouse, and finally buying value-added goods from the training kitchen. The second goal of the business is to form partnerships with major producer and consumer groups. These groups will include Fraser farmers lakes farmers market, schools, local restaurants and many more. The final goal that the Eco Co-op market aims to achieve via the local foods market is to engage and retain youth. The local foods market and its greenhouse will create many exciting job opportunities for the local youth training them towards operating their own farms or managing their own businesses.
