The Food Policy for Canada

Canada’s Food Policy aims to ensure access to safe, nutritious, and affordable food for all Canadians, while supporting farmers, reducing food waste, and promoting sustainable practices. It balances health, economic prosperity, and environmental stewardship by encouraging responsible food production, equitable distribution, and innovation in the food system. The policy also emphasizes strengthening rural communities, empowering Indigenous peoples, and addressing food insecurity. Overall, it seeks a resilient and sustainable food system that meets current needs without compromising future generations’ ability to produce and enjoy quality food.
