Canadians Encouraged to Provide Feedback On Canadian Food Strategy

ByAmanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

Is a national food strategy important to you? If you answered yes, you should consider providing feedback online about the content of the Canadian Food Strategy.

The Conference Board of Canada’s Centre for Food in Canada is inviting the Canadian public to provide responses and feedback to help form the content that will be outlined in a future food strategy document. The strategy focuses on five main components – industry, healthy food, food safety, consumer security, and environmental sustainability.

The feedback is in a survey format and will take 20 to 25 minutes to complete. Feedback will be considered to be a part of the strategy that will be released Nov. 2013.
