To summarize, I would say that food sovereignty, as I mentioned, is about people's ability to choose what food they want to eat and how that food is produced. As they decide, they should be able to afford food that is culturally appropriate and safe for them to eat. The issue is not that we need more affordable food or cheaper food; it's that we need a poverty reduction strategy so that people can afford food at the cost of production of the farmers producing it. Farmers need to earn a fair living. Most farmers in Canada do not earn the cost of production on what they're producing, with the notable exception, of course, of those under supply management.
We think programs like supply management and farmer-controlled marketing boards, in general, are very important, but these need to be paired with poverty reduction strategies like a basic income guarantee.
