OFAC is also active in promotion, education, program development and research among its members. OFAC also collects and develops pertinent information and materials relating to animal agriculture and monitors and participates in issues relevant to the care and management of farm animals. Animal agriculture makes important contributions to our society, our environment, and our way of life. By furthering public understanding and appreciation of today's agriculture and food system, together with on-going efforts to build on our past achievements in providing a secure, affordable and safe food supply, efficiently and responsibly, we all benefit. On average, each Ontario farm family produces enough food to feed over 100 people.
Food produced in Canada is higher in quality and consistency than ever before.
Canada's food inspection standards are among the strictest in the world, ensuring that Canadian produced food is safe and wholesome. Many livestock and poultry diseases have been eradicated in Canada and many more are now treatable due to better nutrition, sanitation and advancements in veterinary medicine. While farmers and others involved in producing food for Canadians are proud of their accomplishments, they continue to strive toward further improvements and advancements for the future.
