Mr. McNeil referred to the responsibilities women we assumed on farms and in rural communities over i-c years as homemakers. mothers and as partners. nntributing toward the success of the family farm. For "unerations women on farms have earned a degree of 'villlality which their city sisters have not had. Referring to the Province of Ontario. Mr. McNeil did people are inclined to think of this Province as a strong industrial base. as a centre of business and commerce. Whereas we take second place to no province in Agriculture and the production of quality foods. Ontario produces 30 percent of Canada's Agricultural and Food products and 56 percent of all food processed in Canada. Farm cash sales amount to more than four billion dollars a year. Only 5% of Ontario's population are farmers yet 20% of the population depend on Agriculture for their livelihood and one person in five works at a job connected with the food industry. The Foodland Ontario program launched in 1977 is a consumer oriented program with the objective of in- creasing thc consumption of Ontarioâ€"produced Agricul- lural products among its citizens. The impact of “Food- land“ on consumer attitudes and purchasing has been significant. Research shows one in two people are becoming aware of the high quality of Ontario Foods.
