Farm And Food Care Saskatchewan Opens Nomintions for Food and Farming Champion Award
Clinton Monchuk - Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan

Farmscape for April 4, 2017

Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan has issued a call for nominations for its second annual Food and Farming Champion Award.
The Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan Food and Farming Champion Award was launched last year  to shine a light on those who work to promote Saskatchewan agriculture and help build public trust in the food industry.
Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan Executive Director Clinton Monchuk says more and more consumers are asking different questions about food.

Clip-Clinton Monchuk-Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan:
At the core of it, the idea behind the Farm and Food Champion Award is to showcase some of the individuals who are going above and beyond in the agriculture industry to promote anything from public trust to the research to just get out to the public and show the tremendous efforts that we're doing in the agriculture industry to improve the livelihood of consumers here in this country.
The idea around this is to bring and showcase some of the advocacy and leadership that is being done by different individuals to promote others to get in the game and promote the idea of public trust in agriculture.
That's one of the main drivers behind it, first of all to show the public, the general consumers here in this country and beyond how passionate we are for the food industry in this country but, second of all to promote the leadership around different individuals that are actually striving to do that.
That's effectively why the award was set up and why we're trying to showcase different individuals leadership roles through communication, participation, teaching, what ever it happens to be to get out to the general agriculture community that this is important not only for our industry but for the continuation of doing what we do here in Canada which is producing food.

The deadline for submission is September 30.
