What U of G Experts Are Celebrating This Food Day Canada

Food Day Canada is a day for all Canadians to celebrate the farmers, fishers, food researchers and home cooks who grow, produce and prepare the abundance of food in Canada. 

Food Day Canada was founded more than two decades ago by Anita Stewart, the late food laureate of the University of Guelph. Her legacy lives on in the work done to maintain and improve Canada’s food systems. 

A strong food system in Canada begins long before products end up in the grocery store. As Canada’s food university, U of G is at the forefront of the country’s food future, working on exciting innovations in crop development, animal and human health, technological advancement and education to prepare the next generation of agri-food leaders. 

Here’s what U of G researchers say has them excited for what the future holds for Canada’s agri-food system.
