Enriching Food Networks
We are working to make global food networks safer, more efficient, more transparent, and more sustainable. Canada is a country that both imports and exports large amounts of food and so we are working to identify pressure points that can be resolved by policy, markets or awareness. This will ensure that our global food networks continue to improve the way they offer safety, health, and affordability for all consumers.
We are Enriching Food Networks by investigating:
- tracing’s potential to ensure quality and safety
- how choices resonate through the supply chain
- policy that reduces hunger
