You can't go wrong when you support local farms and produce, especially when it comes to the long run.

This is why Sharjah Cooperative Society continues to provide special support throughout its branches in the Emirate, and during the Farmers' Forum.

Supporting Local Produce and Local Farmers

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Around the time President Donald Trump started threatening to start a trade war, Cortes Currents reached out to Dr Kushank Bajaj from UBC’s Institute for Resource, Environment and Sustainability and Marc Doll, from Foot Forward Forest Farm on Quadra Island. 

The topic was food security and Dr Bajaj is one of the developers of a website called Canada Food Flows, which traces the amount of fruits and vegetables coming into British Columbia from other provinces and nations.

Marc Doll comes from what, at first glance, seems like a totally different perspective. Foot Forward Forest Farm sells locally grown pastured chickens, custom made sausages, grass-fed lamb, free-range goat, pastured pork and free range pastured eggs.
