Millions of Canadians cannot afford to buy healthy, nourishing food. We are calling on the federal government to act quickly and reduce poverty so everyone can afford the nourishing food they need. Read our 2023 Pre-Budget Submission to learn more: buff.ly/3DBYBsj j

Did you know? 78% of the grocery industry in Canada is controlled by three major corporations. 🍓This creates a bottleneck in the food system, where all of the power rests in the hands of a few large companies that are not accountable to the interests of farmers or consumers.
