Atlantic Food Systems Survey! 👉️ https://bit.ly/atlanticfoodsurvey

We're speaking with people across the territories of Atlantic Canada to better understand what's working, what's under pressure, and what needs to change so that our food systems work well for the people who depend on them.

Survey responses will help inform future policy work, community initiatives, and regional coordination efforts that strengthen food systems across Atlantic Canada.

This survey is open to anyone connected to food in Atlantic Canada, including producers, harvesters, processors, retailers, community organizations, policymakers, and eaters.

This work is a collaboration with the Centre for Local Prosperity and the Atlantic Food Action Coalition
