2026 CCFI Public Trust Summit

Cultivating Public Confidence: A forum for developing relationships and learning how to engage and build trust in our food system together. The 2026 Public Trust Summit theme, Trust Under Pressure: Leading in an Era of Scrutiny, will explore how Canada’s food system can navigate the challenges of maintaining public confidence in a rapidly changing world. This year’s program is structured around three key pillars: The Pressure, The Risk, and The Response. • The Pressure examines the broader trends affecting public trust, from shifting expectations to polarized opinions and the fragmentation of information. • The Risk explores the potential consequences for the food system, including how misalignment and loss of trust can influence consumer confidence and decision-making. • The Response highlights practical strategies and leadership approaches organizations can adopt to strengthen public trust and navigate this complex environment. More than just a conversation, the Public Trust Summit is a national platform for bold dialogue and cross-sector collaboration. It brings together diverse voices from across the Canadian food system to shape a shared path forward—grounded in facts, transparency, and meaningful engagement.
