Food Manufacturing Is The Leading Industry Of The Canadian Economy

The Canada’s Food Guide has been in place since 1942, and nearly a decade has passed since the release of the current Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide (EWCFG) (Mortillaro, 2016). Critics believe that the time has come for the revision of the second-most downloaded document in Canada – in the interest of reflecting the changing lifestyles of Canadians (Mortillaro, 2016). At the time of its launch during World War II, male-female roles differed vastly, with stay-at-home moms preparing home cooked meals. However, according to latest information provided by Statistics Canada, 69% of households with families are dual-earners today (Statistics Canada, 2015). The effect of dual earning has taken its toll on Canadian food consumption patterns (Mortillaro, 2016). Consequently, the existing food guide has received mixed reviews and immense criticism by several researchers, and has even been declared “obesogenic” (Corby, 2007; Kondro, 2006; L’Abbe & Mahsa, 2015). This is particularly disturbing because according to the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey, 59% of the adult population is overweight and 1 in 4 is obese; the numbers are even more alarming regarding children and adolescents (Karmali et al., 2010). The cause of the obesity epidemic might be right at our fingertips with the “Unhealthy Food Guide” that is imposed on Canadians. One strict change that must occur to the food guide includes disassociating 100% fruit juices as vegetable and fruit sources, and thereby removing

Acquiring life’s necessities for many Canadians is as simple as going to the grocery store. For most Northern Aboriginal Canadian communities, who face overwhelmingly high food prices this is not the case. The inability to engage in healthy eating practices for both financial and availability reasons is hypothesized to have contributed to the higher incidence of diet related diseases among this demographic. With food insecurity on the rise, policy reform is essential. Reform must consider both traditional and market foods, as well as minimize all current barriers to food attainment. Urgency is required for a sustainable solution to this problem.

Food insecurity is an issue seeing growth in Ontario which has an impact on thousands of people annually. It is defined as when an individual does not have adequate or sufficient access to healthy, nutritious food which prevents him or her from maintaining a healthy and active life.Some causes of food insecurity includes low income or unemployment, location, gender, race, physical or mental illness or disabilities and more. From the research I have done, nearly 10 percent of all Ontarians have suffered from food insecurity at least one in his or her life. As we learnt in class,  few programs effective with the creation of a solution for the problem such as Northern Food Canada. Though benefits of Northern Food Canada exist, there were flaws

Food security has three core components. These are food availability, accessibility and use of food (FAO, 2015, Welsh, 1998). 12.5% of household in Canada are suffering from food insecurity (Boddy and Roblin, 2017). Food insecurity is higher in immigrants compare to the Canadians (Health Canada, 2012, Welsh, 1998, Toronto Food Policy Council, 2013). Moreover, the food desert is another factor of food security where there is a lack of access to the food stores, fruit, and vegetables (Center for Disease control, 2012). Ethnic vegetables play an important role in the food security and nutrition of the South Asian immigrants (Quadir and Danesh,

Canada’s economy is currently growing and statistics show the economy is expected to continue to grow in the following years. In addition, consumer spending has increased and the housing market conditions have improved. The demand for oil and energy is at an all-time high and the demand is expected to increase through 2017. However, expanded a business into a new market also comes with high risks and potential losses. Major corporations such as Target have tried to enter the Canadian market, but ended up failing and losing profits. In this section, I will discuss economic conditions, business conditions, and risks.

A recent article uploaded on February 5, 2016 had featured Leesee Papatsie, a well- known activist in Iqaluit that started a Facebook group called “Feeding my Family.” She started this group to protest against high food prices and has been for over two and a half years (Zerehi, 2016). The pricing for perishable foods are already high as is. Now with the sinking loonie and drought in California that occurred in the middle of 2015, the price for food has yet again gone up immensely starting in the new year of 2016 (Zerehi, 2016). The Conference Board of Canada has five key areas to strategize for food security which are: food health and safety, household food security, industry prosperity and environmental sustainability. In January 2016, there

This review of literature provides information about the Canadian food industry provides safe farming practices, harvest handling, and the duration of product transportation to eradicate any foodborne illness. The Canadian Federal Inspection Agency (CFIA) provides a strong code of regulations from the in which all farming practices and importers and exporters must follow. However, there is always a risk of infectious pathogenic bacteria if the consumer is unaware of high quality handling methods to use. Most importantly, the risk of foodborne illness is less with locally produced food than imported foods.

Civita Food Ltd. has a significant role in the domestic corn processing industry. Our company is a family business, which shaped up after the political transformation in 1992, and now achieves outstanding success under the second generation’s leadership. The latest result of our product innovation is the corn oil-presser firm, which is capable of 3000 tons of oil production per year.

All of Canada has been nervously watching the stock market over the past few years. Well, at least politicians and major businesses, both inside and out of Canada. The fact of the matter is, our country’s economy isn’t going strong. A sad number of retailers have had to close up shop in Canada for a variety of factors. Not to mention, our country’s economy and GDP itself hasn’t been very favourable compared to most other profitable destinations. Despite the economy, however, our country is still one of the most expensive countries in the world to live in. In the end, us Canadians, along with businesses and politicians, need to try to make our country stable once again. And with recent light of the American election and the quickly-falling

Local appeals to consumers: 82% of Ontario’s principal grocery shoppers say that they intend on purchasing fresh, local food. It’s evident from information like this that has been gathered in our annual tracking study at Foodland Ontario that local is what consumers are looking for. For this reason, it seems that when competing in global markets, perhaps the best asset a local business has is its location.

Last Friday, my friend and I were taken to the cafeteria by Mr. Brian and ate famous Canadian food, poutine, for the first time. Poutine is popular fast food in Canada, and it includes deep fried potato with gravy and cheese curds. The appearance is not good, but the taste is excellent. I was surprised to eat my first taste and I want to know Canadian food more. Basically, Canadian food is mostly a mixture. A former prime minister in Canada, Joe Clark said, “Canada has a cuisine of cuisines. Not a stew pot, but a smorgasbord”. It means that Canadian food is influenced by various immigrants and all in all, the roots are First Nation, the UK, and France. This is some examples of famous Canadian food, Pemmican from First Nation, Nanaimo bar from Vancouver, poutine from France, and pancakes and maple syrup from the UK and New England.

v) Over 10 million litres of milk, valued at about $5 million, had to be discarded. The maple syrup industry was also severely affected. More than one-fifth of Canada’s syrup-producing tree taps were severely impacted by the storm. Countless tree branches and pipes used to channel maple sap collapsed under the weight of the ice, and some producers in Québec lost virtually their entire sugar bush. The industry’s losses in income were likely in the tens of millions of dollars for 1998 alone, and the storm’s damage was so extensive that many estimated it would take years or even decades for the industry to fully recover. The total financial cost of the storm is estimated at $5.4 billion.

According to Restaurants Canada more than one million Canadians are working in the vibrant restaurant and foodservice industry, the first job for 22% of all Canadians is in the food service industry (Restaurants Canada, n.d). Canada’s restaurants employ over 500,000 under the age 25 (Health and Safety Report, 2016). Although it is generally considered safe to work in a fast food industry setting it is important to note that there are several hazardous equipment, chemicals and risks that should be taken into consideration and paid attention to by both employers and employees. The laws that govern health and safety in the workplace provide a minimum level of protection that must be maintained. Employers are encouraged to exceed these minimum
