Just last month I had the pleasure of attending Ford Canada’s Sustainability Feast: #FarmtoCar, it was the most delicious, educational evening and it really showcased all of Ford Canada’s efforts to incorporate sustainable ingredients (by-products) into their vehicles. The evening feature a feast prepared by Chef David Omar that incorporated the ingredients that Ford Canada has been using in their innovative designs.
