A vision to 2028
Canada is recognized as a world leader in sustainable agriculture and agri-food production and drives forward to 2028 from a solid foundation of regional strengths and diversity, as well as the strong leadership of the Provinces and Territories, in order to rise to the climate change challenge, to expand new markets and trade while meeting the expectations of consumers, and to feed Canadians and a growing global population.
The priorities
Tackling climate change and environmental protection to support GHG emission reductions and the long-term vitality of the sector while positioning producers and processors to seize economic opportunities from evolving consumer demands;
Continued and targeted investments in science, research and innovation to address key challenges and opportunities;
Supporting sustainable agriculture and economic growth by creating the conditions for Canadian businesses to meet evolving challenges of the interconnected domestic and global marketplace;
Building sector capacity and growth through realizing the potential of value added agri-food and agri-products; and
Enhancing resiliency to anticipate, mitigate and respond to risks, including a robust suite of Business Risk Management programs.
