Abstract

The article assesses the changes in Canada’s food system caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though agri-food sector of the country is characterized by a high degree of development, a focus on self-sufficiency in food, and a flexible regulatory system, the pandemic however, as in other countries of the world, has set new challenges for it to provide the population with food. The authors explore the response of elements of Canada’s food system to the problems and challenges of the pandemic. They identified the most vulnerable links in the food supply chain under present circumstances and outlined the reasons for the relative stability of the food system of the country amid the pandemic.
