Research reveals Canadians' desire to know more about food
Four in 10 Canadians are unsure if the food system is headed in the right direction, the study says.
Canadians are most concerned with the rising cost of food and the affordability of healthy food for the third year in a row, according to research released by the Canadian Centre for Food Integrity (CCFI), Canada.
When asked to rate their level of concern on a number of issues ranging from healthcare, economy and unemployment to climate change and rising energy costs, Canadians indicated they're most concerned about the rising cost of food (67%). Keeping healthy food affordable was rated second, together with rising energy costs and rising health care costs, both at 63%. Rounding out the Top 5 concerns for Canadians was the safety of food imported from outside of Canada at 55%.
