But what exactly does it mean? <\/h2><p><strong>Food self-sufficiency<\/strong> is an increasingly relevant issue in the current context. It is defined as the ability of a country or region to feed its population. This is achieved through local production. This <strong>self-sufficiency<\/strong> reduces dependence on imports and encourages the development of agriculture, whether individual (gardening) or collective (local farms).   <\/p><p>Although Quebec is not totally self-sufficient, it has achieved this goal for several important products. These include <strong>eggs, poultry and dairy products<\/strong>. The province even boasts surplus production of <strong>maple syrup, cranberries and pork<\/strong>, testifying to a strong production capacity and an effective strategy for strengthening its food self-sufficiency.  <\/p><h3>Qu\u00e9bec&#8217;s dairy sector: an economic engine<\/h3><p>The <strong>dairy sector<\/strong> is a major economic force in Quebec. It is Quebec&#8217;s most important agri-food industry, generating 24% of the province&#8217;s agricultural revenues. Quebec is Canada&#8217;s largest milk producer, contributing 36.9% of national production. The province is home to 46.4% of the country&#8217;s dairy farms, which translates into smaller operations than the Canadian average.   <\/p><p>A variety of dairy products are made locally. These include plain milk, chocolate milk, cream, cheese, yoghurt, butter and ice cream. This variety meets the varied needs of consumers and consolidates Quebec&#8217;s position as a leader in dairy processing.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-744c0f0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default rt-parallax-bg-no\" data-id=\"744c0f0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d2e6f4c\" data-id=\"d2e6f4c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-092b1f9 elementor-cta--layout-image-right elementor-cta--skin-classic elementor-animated-content elementor-bg-transform elementor-bg-transform-zoom-in elementor-widget elementor-widget-call-to-action\" data-id=\"092b1f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"call-to-action.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg elementor-bg\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/drobitaille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/caisse-a-lait_Robitaille-1-1024x688.jpg);\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"black milk crate\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-cta__title elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDid you know?  \t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__description elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOn average, Quebec dairy cows produce over 9,797 liters of milk per year.
