According to Canada’s Food price report put out by Dalhousie University, the food price report for 2022 predicted a five to 7% increase in food costs. The most significant increases would be predicted for restaurants at six to 8% and bakeries and vegetables at five to 7%.
Take a moment and imagine how many people will be affected by the above statistics. We’ll have families who cannot afford to put meals on their tables and others who do not have enough. As a holistic nutrition professional, I do not want to foresee a situation where people cannot meet their nutrition needs.
