Welcome

In this issue of EAP Comment, the focus is on Canadian food and agriculture policy.

We feature a profile of the long and winding road towards the development of national standards for the Canadian organic foods industry.

Inside these covers, you’ll find a hard look at the problems Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is having in harmonizing its policy development with the principles of health promotion and environmental sustainability.

Also in this issue, we take a look at the implications of the recent federal election and try to put the spotlight on that shadowy international agreement, the Multilateral Agreement on Investments.

In this Issue

• The Road to National Organic Standards —Marching to a Different Drummer

• Canadian agricultural policy still riddled with major contradictions

• Canadian federal election: more and less of the same?

• Anxiety about the Multilateral Agreement on Investments

• Stuart Hill, EAP’s founder, dropped by for a visit recently and regaled us with tales of his new life in Australia. He seems to be enjoying both his position as Chair of the School of Social Ecology at the University of Western Sydney and his new home (which came complete with 835 orchids!).
• We have four new publications available. These extension bulletins for farmers were co-published with the Conservation Council of New Brunswick, with the support of the J.W. McConnell Foundation.
