Canada’s Food System campaign launches

Canada's Food System: Our Food. Our Future Campaign is an initiative that celebrates one of the country’s greatest strengths: the people, partnerships, and progress that make our food system a global leader.

In a time of domestic economic strengthening, global trade disruptions, and climate pressure, this initiative is making a bold case for rethinking how Canadians see the food system—not simply as infrastructure, but as a foundational pillar of the country’s future.

“The initiative reminds Canadians that the food system supports more than two million Canadian jobs, contributes more than $140 billion to the national GDP, and ranks as the fifth largest exporter of agriculture and agri-food products globally,” said Keith Currie, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, “With export targets reaching $75 billion by 2025, the sector plays a vital role in driving growth, securing trade, and strengthening Canada’s global economic standing.”
