#CdnAgDay

Today we celebrate Canada's Agriculture Day.

It's a time to recognize the efforts and accomplishments of farmers and those that work in the agri-food sector.

The Canadian Centre for Food Integrity President and CEO John Jamieson says this is an ideal opportunity for everyone to learn more about where their food comes from while getting to know the people who produce it.

“Canadian agriculture is a vital and resilient industry that continues to provide safe, high-quality food for Canadians and people around the world. We are proud of the hardworking farmers and industry professionals who are committed to the responsible and sustainable production of food."

Canadians are encouraged to share their love for Canadian food on social media by using the hashtag #CdnAgDay to share forks-up selfies, photos of your meal, and/or agriculture-related photos.
