OTTAWA, Ont. — The Government of Canada has launched a new recruitment process for membership on the Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council.

The council was created to support greater collaboration in understanding complex and interconnected food systems issues from diverse perspectives to make meaningful and sustainable progress. It plays a key role in the food policy for Canada, providing advice to the minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food on addressing challenges and opportunities across Canada’s food systems.

According to a press release, the membership of the council is intended to reflect the diversity of Canada’s food systems and bring forward economic, health, social, and environmental perspectives to issues that impact, or are impacted by food. To achieve this, the council is seeking new members from across Canada’s food systems, including from the food and agriculture sector, academia, civil society, and Indigenous communities, with a focus on ensuring Indigenous and other underrepresented or marginalized groups have a voice on the council.
