Research continues to reveal gaps in consumer awareness of farming practices and the tools used to grow food. This can lead to tighter regulations, increased costs, and less innovation and adoption of sustainable practices that improve food production and reduce environmental impact.

Food is our common ground and the most intimate way consumers experience agriculture. Food is where we need to begin our conversation with consumers.

Canadian Food Focus has built a platform for farmers to share their stories and provide consumers with relatable information about Canadian food and agriculture.
