I care about food and where it comes from.

I care about people and their stories.

And I care about understanding and about answering questions.

Food and farming are subjects that bring all of those things together, subjects that I am very passionate about.

Why? I grew up on a farm, I have many friends who are in agriculture and I work with farmers.  And for me, there’s also something very fundamental at play here - farming is about food, about land, about water, about air. It’s about how we nourish ourselves, how we protect our environment and how we look after animals.

In my job,  I meet many people on a daily basis who have no idea how our food is produced, where it comes from or how important farming really is to all of our daily lives  - and who would really like to learn more and have their questions answered.

So that’s where this blog comes in.

Food and Farming Canada is news, information and comment about the farming side of food - linking together the farmers who grow our food with the consumers who eat it.

It was born out of my desire to make sense of the complex world of food and farming and help Canadians understand where their food comes from - but in their terms, in ways that they can relate to. Simple, honest and to the point.

Here you should find the answers to your food and farming questions, brought to you by someone - me- who knows, or at least knows who or where to ask.
