New Brunswickers look for creative solutions to rising food prices
Tony DeLuca said in his 29 years as a manager for MacArthur’s nurseries in Moncton, he’s never seen so much demand for products to allow people to grow their own food.
He said he’s seen the trend grow over the past few years in part due to the uncertainties caused by the pandemic.“We’re seeing it in the seeds again this year. We’re seeing very high demand and we’re finding it hard to keep up, to keep everything in stock.”Sylvain Charlebois, director of Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab, isn’t surprised to hear that.
“What’s interesting at this time is that food prices, no matter what your budget is, it is affecting you,” Lauren Fawcett, director of WA Action, said on Saturday.Cook once, eat twice’: turning leftovers into new meals – Mar 20, 2022 “It’s not necessarily going to change market prices that we see but it’s a small way for communities to come together and to support one another in a time that’s really distressing,” Fawcett said.Charlebois said rapidly rising costs have changed attitudes about food, and how not to waste it, in the past.
