Canadian families can expect to pay over $1,000 more for food in 2023, according to a new report published by four universities across the country that collaborated on the project.

High food inflation is expected to continue next year, with food insecurity and affordability being a big concern for many, says “Canada’s Food Price Report 2023,” an annual publication of Dalhousie University, the University of Guelph, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Saskatchewan.
