Petition to the Government of Canada
- Farmers’ Markets are a key tool for COVID-19 recovery as small business incubators, domestic food system resilience and security builders, and Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program (FMNCP) is a key support for new and existing Farmers’ Market development and their provincial associations or equivalent;
- FMNCP helps create food security and resiliency by providing vulnerable people access to healthy locally-grown foods and dietary education, while improving the physical and mental health of participants, by increasing the amount and diversity of fruits and vegetables they consume; and
- FMNCP increases domestic food supply, sustainable farming, and farmers by providing a secure source of income via farmers’ market sales, and these farmers are key stakeholders in climate change mitigation, adaptation, and prevention.
