What Matters To You?
Frontenac Food System Law and Regulation Study



The County of Frontenac and the Queen's University Faculty of Law are supporting research into where laws and regulations may pose barriers or impediments to greater success in the Frontenac food system-for example, by imposing excessive burdens on the existing operations of food producers or processors or limiting the scope for expansion and new initiatives. 

We invite you to complete this short survey to help identify key issues and priorities facing food businesses (including producers, processors, restaurants, and food retailers) in the region.
