Canadians for Responsible Food Policy acknowledges that we are situated and operating throughout the country now called Canada, in which exist many traditional territories of the Indigenous people(s), who called the land home before the arrival of settlers.

Furthermore, our team recognizes the need to amplify and support the BIPOC and marginalized communities and as such, we have developed an anti-oppression, anti-racism statement which our Board and any representative of CRFP must stand by.

Avian flu, also known as Bird flu, H5N1 or HPAI, continues to be found in cow’s milk and has been confirmed in yet more American states, this time in Michigan and Idaho, the locations inching closer to Canada.

Last week, the USDA found traces of avian flu in Kansas cows’ milk after a month of reports of mysterious illness in dairy cows in New Mexico, Texas, Kansas, Idaho and Ohio. By the time sick cows were first reported to the USDA in late February, it had spread to 15 herds in the Texas Panhandle.

The USDA has not ruled out the possibility cows are spreading it between themselves. It also considers wild birds as a source of infection. Therefore, it is suggested to limit cows’ access to anywhere where they might come in contact with wild birds, or anywhere outside. 

On March 20, 2024, a baby goat was reported sick with avian flu in Minnesota. The goat lived on a chicken farm, where an outbreak had previously been reported.

There are now reports of cats also being infected with the same virus…..

A mission To Promote Health, Environmental, and Social Justice Outcomes

Our mission is to change Federal food and agricultural policy to support a shift to a plant-based food system.

Our Three Main Courses of Action

Lobby The canadian Federal Government & policy makers

We continue to launch strategic campaigns such as the Sustainable Agriculture Strategy consultation submission, increasing plant-based Federal food procurement, and other forms of advocating for the Canadian Government to adopt responsible food policies.

Analyze the Impacts Of Food System Policies & Make Recommendations

Through various campaigns and research projects, we are consistently examining healthy & sustainable alternatives.

We are currently applying for funding to help model the impacts of different policies and make recommendations on this basis.

Our team is working on preparing a comprehensive report on government support to agriculture in Canada. We will equip those looking to share information with the right tools and media.
