The Canadian Muslim Forum (FMC-CMF) supports and recommends the initiative of the Quebec Farmers Association on World Foods research and call for entire community to encourage them and participate in the research program “Investigating the potential to involve English-speaking members of Quebec’s ethno-cultural populations in agriculture and food production” with an ultimate goal is to identify and produce “world foods” that would be of interest and demand to our ethno-cultural communities given that some of the foods which may be typically part of their preferred diets might either be difficult to access or are notably expensive.
The Project:
“The project has been to first get a better sense of the ethno-cultural profile and communities in Quebec (including demographic information, geographic concentrations, cultural and language representation, educational backgrounds and status and area of employment as some indicators). Part of this process has been a formal research study complemented by a survey which was sent to over 300 ethno-cultural community organizations (from which we have received moderate response – but very promising feedback). We are also aiming to identify and engage between half a dozen and a dozen leaders from these communities to become engaged and support the idea. The program could also have potential employment opportunities for members of these communities and create linkages with Quebec’s agri-business through the QFA.”
