Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The findings highlight a contradiction between Canada's status as an agricultural producer and widespread food affordability issues. Calculations comparing 2015 to 2025 show that while disposable income for the lowest-income quintile increased by 43.4%, grocery prices rose by 37%.
