The Committee’s Purpose
To showcase and communicate agricultural issues in a positive manner, leading to increased public trust and confidence with the crops we grow and the food consumers enjoy.
The Issues
Public trust is an over-arching policy issue that while it stands alone, it is also connected to many other issues the Wheat Growers advocate for, such as transportation (protestors and blockades), trade (Canadian conversation about buy local domestic consumption versus global trade) and trade agreements.
