At the end of World War II, approximately one-third of Canadians lived on farms. In 2012, less than 3% of Canadians make up the country’s farm families, and less than one-third of those produce most of what we eat. Stops along the 8-part learning journey will include such questions as “Where did that food on my dinner plate come from?”, as well as some of the options you can exercise as individuals to control and influence your food choices.
