The decisions we make as individuals and as a country about food have a direct impact on our health, environment, economy, and communities.
A Food Policy for Canada will set a long-term vision for the health, environmental, social, and economic goals related to food, while identifying actions we can take in the short-term.
A food policy is a way to address issues related to the production, processing, distribution, and consumption of food.
Learn more by reading the food policy consultation document and have your say!
