It begs the question, what can we do to make sure that if consumers do have questions that farmers provide answers for them and that's where Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan or Canadian Food Focus come into play and I think that's why a lot of farm groups, the farmers themselves see what we're doing as beneficial for the entire industry.
If we all do our part, whether it's individually as farmers or people in the agriculture industry or we combine our efforts with groups like Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan, we can do more and people are starting to see some of the benefit of that and definitely supporting us to a larger degree now.
Monchuk says, while consumers have always had questions, there is a recognition that farmers need to be more proactive through social media and other methods of engagement in answering those questions. He notes tracking has shown consumers who access Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan resources feel more confident and comfortable with our food production system.
