A new survey from the Agri-Food Analytics Lab shows Canadians care about food affordability and consider it as an important issue for this Federal election

Before bans on single-use plastics can be implemented, the Canadian government needs to know which single-use plastics are harmful to the environment. Who can help collect this data?

The global focus on plastic pollution isn't a distraction from other planetary issues, writes SRES researcher Tony Walker.

Reduction of single-use-plastics has emerged as a key environmental concern in Canada and around the world.

A new study from Dr. Sylvain Charlebois shows that Canadians aren’t as eager to embrace them as they were two years ago.

MES student Mickey Gilchrist’s research, supported by Addenda Capital and MITACS, will help decision-makers address climate change through sustainable investment.

Although more than 25% of those surveyed say the new Food Guide recommendations are not affordable, the second part of this study showed that a family of four will save, on average, 6.8% on their annual grocery bill if they prepare food at home using the new guidelines.

The average Canadian family is expected to spend $411 more on food in 2019 than in 2018, bringing the total cost of healthy food to $12,157 for the year, according to Canada’s Food Price Report 2019.
