Canadian Food Integrity Centre Responds to Government’s Food Accessibility Measures
The Canadian Food Integrity Centre (CFIC) has responded to recent government measures aimed at improving food accessibility. This initiative signifies an important recognition of the necessity to view food as an essential infrastructure in Canada. The impact of food accessibility extends beyond household budgets; it influences community well-being and national stability.
Public Trust in Canada’s Food System
Research conducted by the CFIC indicates that food accessibility remains a primary concern among Canadians. Despite some easing of tensions this year, the issue persists as a significant challenge.
Economic Impact of the Food Sector
The food system in Canada is a major economic engine, supporting millions of jobs across various sectors:
- Agriculture
- Food processing
- Transportation
- Retail
- Food services
- Exports
The food and beverage sector is the largest manufacturing industry in Canada. A strong food system contributes to thriving communities and a robust economy.
The Importance of Food Integrity
Lisa Bishop-Spencer, Executive Director of the CFIC, emphasizes that food is not solely a matter of cost. It’s fundamentally tied to national well-being. The CFIC aims to advance public trust in Canada’s food system through collaboration, research, and stakeholder engagement.
This non-profit organization fosters transparency and understanding, ensuring that the Canadian food system remains a source of national pride and resilience.
