It's about understanding why food prices are going up, and it's about understanding food systems. Right now, if we want informed citizens, we want to make sure that they know the whole picture.
When we work on Canada's food price report every year, with 30 different scholars from all across the country, we look at 47 to 50 different factors. We look at climate change, costs of salaries, distribution, energy, geopolitics.... There are so many different factors affecting food prices. I think it's not fair for consumers to pinpoint one factor—for example, grocers exaggerating...and things like that—and that seems to be the overwhelmingly, I would say, convenient argument out there that is being conveyed.
