Why does YODL exist? 

When CFIN conducted focus groups in 2020, we received a loud and clear message from food professionals -- finding innovation resources and collaboration partners was too difficult. YODL is our solution to this challenge and our way of bringing Canada’s vast and diverse food sector together under one (digital) roof.
