They discussed important aspects of farming and the vital role of government policies such as Bill C-282 in maintaining the nation’s food sovereignty through supply management.
Supply management is more than a policy for Canadian farmers; it's a sustainable practice that ensures Canadians have year-round access to high-quality local food.
It supports rural economies and fosters a future where young Canadians can continue to thrive in agriculture.
This system meets the food needs of the nation but also aligns with the values Canadians hold dear, emphasizing the quality and local origin of our food.
The Downtown Diner event was not just about tasting food but also about education and engagement. It served as a platform for farmers to connect directly with the public and policymakers, reinforcing the importance of local farms in securing Canada's food future.
Canadians gain a deeper appreciation for the hard work and dedication of farmers who make it possible to have reliable access to essential food products.
The Downtown Diner is a prime example of how agricultural communities are reaching out to educate and involve the public in the journey from farm to table.
