NFU presentation to the House of Commons Subcommittee on Food Safety

Family farmers are committed to a food system that provides safe and healthy food to people in this country and abroad. Food production is more than a business to us. As stewards of the land and water, we take very seriously our responsibility to ensure that the food we produce nourishes this and future generations. We strive to ensure that the agronomic practices we use are safe and sustainable, and we welcome regulations which are designed to assist in helping us achieve those objectives. Indeed, the vast majority of our members voluntarily exceed regulatory expectations in their efforts to produce safe and healthy food.
