The study began in fall 2020 and was followed by a larger-scale project in 2021 [1], funded in part by the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, that collected nearly 30,000 survey responses from residents in Bruce, Dufferin, Durham, Elgin, Grey, Middlesex and Oxford counties.
The goal of this research is to inform post-COVID rural policy.
