Sylvain Charlebois is a Canadian researcher and professor in food distribution and food policy at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. He is Dalhousie's former Dean of the Faculty of Management and held a cross-appointment as professor in the Faculty of Agriculture which ended in June of 2021.[1] He is currently the Director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University.

Career

Charlebois holds degrees from the Royal Military College of Canada, the Université de Montréal and the Université de Sherbrooke.[2]

In 2011, he co-founded the University of Guelph's Food Institute, now known as the Arrell Food Institute.[3]

From 2016 Charlebois was Dean of the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University and he held a cross-appointment as professor in the Faculty of Agriculture until June 2021.[1] In 2018, Charlebois became the director of Agri-food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie.

Since 2001, Charlebois is a regular opinion contributor to Montreal's La Presse and Toronto's The Globe and Mail newspapers, and writes a blog for Canadian Grocer magazine called "The Food Professor".[4] Since 2010, he is the lead author of Canada's Food Price Report, an annual forecast on food prices and trends.[5] Charlebois is also a co-host of the podcast titled "The Food Professor".[6]

Canada's Food Price Report (2010–2022)

Charlebois began publishing Canada's Food Price Report in 2010.[7] In 2015, the project was recognized as one of the University of Guelph's most significant research accomplishments in the past 50 years.[8] In July 2020 the University of Saskatchewan and the University of British Columbia also joined the project, contributing to the 2021 edition.[9]

Studies

In 2008, Charlebois co-authored a study to evaluate the performance of the Canadian Wheat Board’s (CWB) Daily Price Contract (DPC) program. The study suggested that the program provided poor financial returns for farmers.[10][11] The DPC programme was eventually cancelled when the CWB was decommissioned on 1 August 2012.

In 2011, Charlebois chaired the first international workshop on food safety performance metrics. The idea of comparing countries' food safety policies, risk management, and risk communication practices was controversial at the time.[12][13][14] Since that seminal workshop, sharing and comparing practices in food safety amongst nations has become more widely accepted. Charlebois argues that the structure of food safety governance favours the advancement of international partnerships and collaboration.

Charlebois speaking in Toronto in 2018

In 2017, Charlebois' team examined legislation involving cannabis in Canada with particular interest in edible cannabis products. Initially, edibles were not included in Canada's Cannabis Act (also known as Bill C-45). Their study, released in September 2017, argued that consumers would be confused over what to do with cannabis-infused food products, and argued that the legalization of edible cannabis products should occur concurrently with smokable products.[15] Weeks after the study was released, Bill C-45 was amended to include edibles.[16] In 2019, a second study released by Charlebois' team explored how the black market for cannabis-infused food products in the country could expand if Canada's regulatory framework does not adapt to meet its growth and evolution.[17][18]

In 2019, Charlebois' team released a cost analysis of Canada's Food Guide, a nutrition guide produced by Health Canada.[19] While the report lauded the Guide's increased recommendations for the consumption of plant-based proteins, fresh fruits, and vegetables, it suggested the rising cost of these food items could push more Canadian families into food insecurity should they try to follow the recommendations.[20]

In 2020, Charlebois and his team created a new index, the Global Food Innovation Index which compared factors contributing to innovation in the food, beverage and agri-food industries across many countries.[21]

One 2018 study released by Charlebois showed that Canadians "overwhelmingly believe that GMO food products should be labelled". He is a supporter of genetically modified food ingredients, advocating for more transparency by way of strict labeling rules for consumers, but with a strong belief in the inherent safety of food products which include GMOs.[22][23]

Food tracking and food safety

A significant portion of Charlebois' research is devoted to the comparison of global food safety and traceability systems.[24] In 2011, he chaired the first international workshop on food safety performance metrics and risk intelligence in Helsinki, Finland, in which representatives of 21 countries participated.[25] In 2013, he was interested in allergens and their labelling.[26] He has also served as project lead for the World Ranking Food Safety Performance Report in 2008, 2010, and 2014.[27][28][29]

Charlebois is the author or over 100 academic publications and author of six books on global food systems, food security, and safety.[citation needed]
