Canadians are being asked to raise a fork to Canadian agriculture as part of a national social media campaign to celebrate Canada’s Agriculture Day on February 11.
Canada’s Agriculture Day is a great opportunity to pay tribute to our producers and to express our immense appreciation for their contributions to our communities,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. “Canadian producers and processors are working around the clock to put nutritious, high-quality food on our tables and create good jobs in communities across the country. Our food producers continue to innovate to meet growing demand at home and around the world, while meeting the challenges of environmental sustainability.”
The fourth anniversary of Canada’s Agriculture Day will focus on strengthening the relationship between consumers and producers who share a common love and appreciation for home-grown food.
“Canada’s Agriculture Day is for everyone,” said Debbie Bailey, spokesperson for Agriculture More Than Ever, one of the driving forces behind Canada’s Agriculture Day. “The day will be marked by events across the country. If you’re unable to participate in one of these events, you can join in the fun by making a meal with your family using all Canadian ingredients, snapping a photo of you raising your fork to Canadian agriculture then sharing it on social media using #CdnAgDay.”
