Making it in Canada

CHICKEN WITH RICE CASSEROLE

Canada is a major producer, exporter and importer of an immense variety of agricultural and food products ranging from processed foods with global value chains to local, farm based value chains. In this section, we share three of our research insights and assess to what extent our recipe can be made from Canadian agricultural and food products.

Europe is in fact responsible for producing ¾ of the world’s olive oil. Greece being a part of Europe, is the second largest producer of olive oil in the world.

Rice being another important ingredient in our recipe, is not produced in Canada but is an ingredient that is very necessary in not only our recipe, but also the Greek culture. It is in many recipes throughout the Greek cuisine and is in fact the 60th largest producer of rice throughout the world.

Chicken is a very important ingredient in our recipe being the main source of protein in our recipe. Chicken is a meat that is very commonly used in the Greek cuisine culture and is a popular commodity throughout the food world. It is produced heavily in almost every part of the world.

In summary, 10 of the 11 ingredients we needed are produced in Canada, while the other one can be purchased without much difficulty. None of the ingredients were not available and required us to make substitutions.
