A food policy for Canada / Pat Finnigan, chair.: XC12-1/1-421-10E-PDF

"On 19 September 2017, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food began a study on a first food policy for Canada, which is being developed by the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and will be implemented over the coming year. The goals of this policy are to produce safe, nutritious and affordable food in an environmentally friendly way. During the course of its study, the Committee heard 52 witnesses and received 14 briefs. This report focuses on the four broad food policy themes set out by the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. In addition to these themes, the Committee believes that the food policy should also take into account the following issues: the next generation of farmers, access to farmland and farm labour. The report also contains recommendations for the successful implementation of the food policy"--Summary, p. [1].
