Canada's Food Price Report

Published by Dalhousie University and the University of Guelph since 2010, every December, Canada's Food Price Report provides a forecast on Canadian food prices and trends for the coming year in Canada.[1][2][3] Created with Canadian researcher Francis Tapon, Sylvain Charlebois is lead author of the report since its inception. Both predictive modelling through machine learning and econometrics are used to support the annual forecast. The report was published by the University of Guelph only from 2011 to 2016. The report's market reach is estimated at over 200 million people in 50 countries annually. In 2015, the project was recognized as one of the University of Guelph's most significant research accomplishments over the past 50 years.[4]
