The context in figures
Did you know?
- 84 % of Canadians believe that food prices have risen the most in the past year (according to a study conducted in October 2024 by Dalhousie University (Halifax))
- 94 % of respondents say they are actively looking for ways to better manage their food expenditure
In such a context, how can we increase the food and purchasing power of consumers?
In addition to a stronger legal framework to restrict the use of these deceptive tactics, at Équiterre, we suggest rethinking our individual and collective eating habits to integrate the concept of planetary health more into our daily menus.
