Paul Cabaj is Director of Cooperative Development, Alberta Community and Cooperative Association.
Paul Cabaj talks about how co-operatives have played important roles in Canada's food system. Co-op retail stores are robust support for free trade food. New generation co-ops are emerging and rejuvenating local communities (e.g. Westlock Terminals, grain). Land trusts are another option for retaining agricultural production within residential areas. He finishes by mentioning the Town of Sangudo community investing project.
