Advancing food law and policy research

摘要

One of my reasons for starting this column 16 years ago (can it really be 16 years?), was to have food law be more widely recognized as a distinct, important and growing body of law in its own right. While we've seen some progress over the years, we still have a long way to go. We still don't have a comprehensive text on Canadian food law. No provincial law society recognizes it as a distinct area of law practice. Unlike many countries, we still don t have a regular reporting service. Most law schools don't teach it.
