We chat with Nithya, editor of Food in Canada magazine, Canada’s longest-standing national publication serving the food and beverage industry. As Food in Canada proudly marks its 85th anniversary, we discuss how the magazine continues to adapt while maintaining its trusted voice in a rapidly evolving sector.
Nithya takes us through the magazine's more recent history: its acquisition by Annex Business Media in 2021, and a pivotal change in March 2024, when Annex transitioned into a 100% Employee-Management Partnership. Now, every employee shares in ownership and profit, and importantly, helps shape decision-making and priorities.
We dive into:
How to submit your story to Food in Canada: What editors look for, what kind of narratives resonate, and how to maximize your pitch’s chance of being featured.
Current trends in Canada’s food landscape: We cover shifts in the supply chain, rising consumer demands for transparency and sustainability, and how brands are responding.
The ongoing role of industry-focused trade publications like Food in Canada in giving a platform to both emerging and established voices in the food processing sector.
Whether you are leading a startup, building a heritage brand, or just tuned into the pulse of Canada’s food industry, this episode delivers both actionable advice and a rare glimpse behind the scenes of a publication that’s shaped nearly nine decades of Canada’s food story.
