FARE Surveys Canadians Over Global Food Price Crisis
July 4, 2008
A majority of Canadians are concerned about the impact the global food price crisis is having locally and around the world, and believe Canada should take action, according to a new survey by OAC researchers.
Profs. Spencer Henson and John Cranfield in the Department of Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics (FARE) surveyed some 1,350 people in recent weeks. They asked what role Canada has played in stimulating food price increases, whether it has affected them personally, and what the country should be doing to alleviate the negative impacts.
"The results provide some of the first indications of the extent to which Canadians are aware of the global food price crisis and their concerns about impacts on themselves and others," said Henson.
