Last week, over 250 officials and experts met for a two-day summit in Ottawa to discuss the details of the policy, which includes many federal initiatives. Now, the Government of Canada is seeking public opinion through an online survey.

The survey covers four main objectives:

-        Increasing access to affordable food

-        Improving health and food safety

-        Conserving our soil, water and air

-        Growing more high-quality food

Responses are being accepted until July 27.
