  8. Canada’s Food System • “… an increasingly small group of companies have gained enormous power over Canada's food supply. • … four retailers control more than 70 per cent of grocery sales; • two companies control 95 per cent of finished cattle slaughter; • two control two-thirds of flour production; • globally, just 10 multinationals control two-thirds of proprietary seeds, the basis of food. • Many Canadian farmers … see little future in independent food production here, which is shocking given increasing world hunger. More than a third of our farmers, holding half of all farm assets, are set to retire and most don't want their children to farm. Corporations are most likely to snap up those farms.” Adapted from Webb, M. (2009, Oct. 15). Canada needs a national food strategy. Toronto Star. Retrieved Oct. 15, 2009 from www.thestar.com
