Such a helpful piece. I am working on developing a report card for a local organization and this article happens to be very helpful. It is important for people to understand the importance of following some elements of the Canadian Food Strategy in order to assess local environmental policies and evaluation criterias.

I continue to value the relevant research that the Conference Board of Canada produces. Documents like this are great for positioning the agri-food sector to students in Canadian classrooms.

Document is very useful for aligning health promotion and public health inspector practice.

Useful to see the metrics that folks believe are the most helpful in understanding a country's relative position in food production.  It would be very much more helpful to me to be able to dig down into the metrics by region.  Canada is so varied in its farming regions that I would need to be able to look at Ontario in order to help me understand what my region needs to focus more on.

Very comprehensive on most fronts, although a bit more insight into the food safety rating and regional differences would be informative.

Good international comparison showing where Canada is strong and where there is still room for improvement.

I simply wish the food safety section had more detail as to exactly how we are A+ rated, and what qualifies for things like a "progressive" ranking.

Canadian Food Strategy relative to environmental sustainability; food safety and quality standards; household food security; and increased income inequality: supporting Canadian consumer choice will cost Canada 58,000 jobs and increase income inequality.

A very comprehensive and technocratic look at Canadian food metrics. The report leaves me wondering about 1) the impact of Canadian consumption patterns on foreign food suppliers and  2) the difference between surviving by food and using food to create identity especially in light of the Truth and Reconciliation Process we are now participating in. Perhaps there is more to food?

Excellent report, I would be interested in having a similar report comparing Canada's major metropolitan areas and the situation in the provinces and territories to help with designing policies or business ideas that can attack some of the shortcomings highlighted in the report.

Great info with good summaries and comparitive charts, worth the read. Canada's B grade in healthy foods and diet is a bit misleading since half the category got a C grade. We have more work to do on healthy eating, our obesity and diebetes crisis is evidence of that.

Excellent detailed information.  Looking forward to next years provincial comparisons.  What can Canada do for Nunavut?
