Agri-Food Week celebrates Ontario food,
glorious food! It is a showcase to the
variety, the quality, the freshness and the
abundance of the food we eat.
Agri-Food Week is our annual harvest
celebration in October, the week before
Thanksgiving.
All of us can participate because all of us
are food consumers. Let’s recognize how
wholesome and reasonably priced our
food is. And let’s thank the people who
bring it to us — farmers, processors,
distributors and retailers.
A pat on the back for us too for buying
the food Ontario grows. It's the best and
for good reason.
The heart of Ontario agriculture is
farming, but it’s also a dynamic high-tech
industry, producing a second crop of
^processed foods and food-related products.

Food for the mind
Ontario's agri-food industries generate
about $16 billion in revenues every
year.
A taste of what you fancy
An annual celebration since 1982, Agri-Food
Week has been nurtured along by the Ministry
of Agriculture and Food, the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture and other interested agri-food
groups.
Local groups work with a provincial Agri-Food
Week committee to organize special events in
communities throughout the province.
Often these events include public participation
which helps to increase awareness of Ontario
agriculture. Ontarians need little encourage
ment to put fresh and delicious Ontario food
products in their shopping carts all year long.
Agri-Food Week. Everyone eats it up.
;• Ontario's agri-food and related
industries, directly or indirectly, employs
one in five people working in the

»• Ontario produces more hogs, poultry,
eggs, sheep and lambs, fruit and
vegetables, corn and soybeans than
any other province.
<< Ontario exports more than $2 billion
worth of food and agricultural products
every year around the world.
Ontario, as part of Canada, has the
second lowest food prices in the world
after the United States. Canadians
spend 15.5 per cent of their net income
on food.
