The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) is Canada's largest general farm organization, representing 200,000 farmers and farm families.〔http://www.cfa-fca.ca/pages/index.php?main_id=2〕 The organization is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, with the mandate to provide a unified industry voice at the national level. The CFA was formed in 1935, and continues today as a farmer-funded, national umbrella organization representing provincial general farm organizations and national commodity groups. == Activities == * To coordinate the efforts of agricultural producer organizations throughout Canada for the purpose of promoting their common interest through collective action. * To assist members and where necessary government, in forming and promoting national agricultural policies to meet changing domestic and international economic conditions; and to collaborate and cooperate with organized groups of producers outside Canada to further this objective. * To promote and advance acceptance of positive social, economic and environmental conditions of those engaged in agricultural pursuits.〔http://www.cfa-fca.ca/pages/index.php?main_id=2〕 To promote awareness of agricultural producer organizations, the CFA sponsors a "Food Freedom Day",〔(Food Freedom Day ) from the Canadian Federation of Agriculture's website〕 the date when an average Canadian family has earned enough income to pay the grocery bill for the entire year. In 2008, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture calculated that it took 34 days (Feb. 3, 2008) for the average Ontario family to make enough to cover their food expenses for the year.〔(Ontario Federation of Agriculture's announcement of the 2008 Food Freedom Day )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Federation of Agriculture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
