Film Premiere: Big Ag’s Hidden Influence on Canada’s Food System

The Films:

How Big Ag Is Keeping Canada 30 Years Behind

Runtime: 20 minutes

Who sets animal welfare standards on farms? Discover how the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC)—an industry-dominated body—controls how farmed animals are treated, and why its secretive role deserves closer scrutiny.

Runtime: 33 minutes

Explore how agricultural front groups copied tactics from Big Tobacco and Big Oil to manipulate

public opinion and protect farm industry profits.
