Canada’s food systems are complex, multifaceted, and – let’s face it – difficult to understand. So, in an effort to<\/span>\u00a0provide a “snapshot” of food systems and food-related issues in our country, we asked ourselves and our volunteers questions like:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“What is agri-food? What are food systems?”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“What do sustainable and unsustainable food systems look like?”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“What about animal agriculture?”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Are there jobs in sustainable food systems in our country?”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The result? This page, filled with infographics created from 2021-2024 by volunteers so that you can better understand Canadian food.<\/p>\n
