Shoutout to @Sean Tarry, Editor-in-Chief at Retail Insider Magazine, for this feature article on CFIN in their latest issue:

The articles explores how through a collaborative approach, CFIN is providing a platform to help enable the continued growth and success of Canada's food ecosystem
From our CXO, @Dana McCauley:
"The food industry is an incredibly important contributor to the Canadian economy," she explains. "However, it's also a very fragmented one that's segmented by regions. Unlike other sectors and industries, it's next to impossible to get all stakeholders into the same room to discuss the big issues impacting the industry. CFIN was born of the impetus to highlight the importance of the food industry to the overall health of the country and to help facilitate connections and partnerships between retailers, manufacturers, ingredient purveyors, technology providers and others that are often operating in siloes. Essentially, we're a platform and a network that helps bring all of these players together, encouraging innovation and collaboration in order to help the entire industry grow. A win for CFIN is when a project is initiated in the Atlantic with service providers located out West and a consumer in Ontario. It's collaboration and connections that the industry has traditionally found it difficult to achieve"
The article also dives into the projects we've funded, the launch of YODL, and what's on the horizon for CFIN.
Thanks @Sean Tarry for the great piece!
