April 6 is the launch of the Ontario Food Industry Environmental Coalition, a self-described access point between the food industry and the provincial government. The coalition, which calls itself the food industry equivalent to the Ontario Farm Environmental Council, is holding a one-day symposium in Mississauga to get the ball rolling. The coalition comprises a number of food industry associations including the Alliance of Ontario Food Processors, the Ontario Agri-Business Association and Food and Consumer Products of Canada. The coalition is being coordinated by Lisa McLean from the Alliance of Ontario Food Processors. Below is the graphic from the symposium.
