That's a great example of our relying on corporations to do the work that they cannot do well, when they're driven predominantly by profit extraction and capital accumulation. If we have surging rates of farmer loss and farmland loss, and we have decreasing food sovereignty.... In Newfoundland and Labrador, less than 10% of the food is from there. Less than 15% of Nova Scotia's food is from Nova Scotia. Less than 8% of the vegetables in New Brunswick are from there. What you're doing is you're eroding your region's food sovereignty. You're assuming that the very corporate entities that have been proven guilty of bread price-fixing and other forms of profiteering are going to solve these problems.
Food sovereignty means having place-based or community-rooted food infrastructure. That includes research. That's just required. It needs to be reflective of the place. You need to have folks who have that real wisdom—your farmers—involved.
