Our Food Has a Story – Ag Month in SK

The government has proclaimed October as Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan.  This year’s theme is once again “Our Food Has a Story,” to continue telling the stories of how food is produced and ends up on our plates.

“Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers have a passion to sustainably produce healthy and affordable food, something that is at the heart of our industry in Saskatchewan,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said.  “This month provides an opportunity for producers to connect with consumers about what we do, and why we do it.  For example, there’s a great story behind the high-quality feed ranchers choose – it leads to healthy livestock and nutritious food for families.”

During the month of October, the Ministry of Agriculture, Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan, Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan and Ag More Than Ever are collaborating with industry to share food stories and engage the public in conversations about modern agriculture.

The month-long campaign will feature four weekly sub-themes: “Health and Nutrition” from October 1 – 7, “Affordability” from October 8 – 14, “Food Safety” from October 15 – 21, and “Sustainability” from October 22 – 31.
