By ensuring farmers produce only enough to meet the needs of Canadians, supply management helps the sector reduce waste and improve sustainability, prevent wild fluctuations in the farm-gate price of milk and enhances Canada’s food sovereignty and security.
Canadian milk standards are among the highest in the world. Our dairy farmers are committed to delivering their best on taste, safety, and quality. Take a look beyond the carton and see how dairy farmers and dairy processors are bringing us delicious milk that’s free of antibiotics and artificial growth hormones.
Humans are omnivores, which means we are naturally able to eat all sorts of different plant and animal foods. We can derive great benefits from the high nutrient richness and availability of milk and milk products.
