Land values are climbing, but rental rates aren’t keeping up, and that matters for producer's bottom line.

Fair Food Prices? Fair for who? Check out this important report from NFU Canada.

"This report identifies the causes of food price inflation by examining the farmers’ share of retail food prices in relation to consumer inflation. The evidence reveals that farmers have experienced stagnating prices for their products while consumer prices have increased. Ultimately, corporate profiteering is the primary reason for the widening gap between the farmers’ share and the grocery sticker price."

Through the Conclusions and Recommendations outlined in Section 3, the NFU of Canada is "...seeking nothing less than a food system that truly advances individual, community, and national food sovereignty."
